The next logical step is to recreate scale models of the courses from the Wipeout series [1] (yes, including underwater tunnels).

I really hope they make a jump with the batteries. I'll be the first one to build one then. I'm looking forward to control a drone with an Oculus Rift on my head.

Well, I'm not really sure what it is, but sounds exciting. You should add some pictures and explanation on what you are doing.

250-ish scale racing quads. About 250mm diagonal size; overpowered for their weight, with a live video relay and lots and lots of spare props. :)
