• Programming and coding techniques for drone applications
• Tips and tricks for drone operation and maintenance
• Discussions on the latest trends and innovations in drone technology and aerospace education

Before You Ask:

Please search for existing discussions or questions similar to yours by using the search bar or browsing through tags. It’s perfectly acceptable to answer your own question if you discover a solution!

Community Etiquette:

• Be respectful and supportive of fellow members. This is a place for learning and collaboration.
• Stay on topic and ensure your questions are relevant to drone technology, education, and the community's interests.
• Avoid subjective or argumentative questions. Our focus is on constructive and educational discussions.

Thank you for being a part of the Drone Sports community. Let’s soar to new heights together!

Please focus on asking practical, specific questions based on real challenges or issues you are facing. Chatty or open-ended questions can reduce the usefulness of this forum and push other important topics off the front page.

To prevent your question from being flagged or removed, avoid asking subjective questions such as:

• Preference-based questions: “What’s your favorite drone model?”
• Questions with your own answer included: “I use this programming language for drones, what do you use?”
• Questions without a specific problem: “I’m curious if other people feel the same way about drones as I do.”
• Hypothetical or speculative questions: “What if drones could fly to space?”
• Rants disguised as questions: “Aren’t drones just a hassle sometimes?”

If your question fits into one of these categories or if your intention is to spark a discussion, please consider using our mailing lists instead. However, if you want to learn more about a specific topic, you’re likely on the right track.

Answering Questions:

• Answers should directly address the question. If you need to clarify or expand on the question, use the comment section.
• Avoid using answers to comment on other answers; instead, leave a comment under the relevant answer.
• Avoid simply pointing to other questions. If you find a duplicate, mention it in the comments as "Possible duplicate of...".
• Avoid providing only a link as an answer. Include a summary or solution text within your answer. Links can supplement your response by offering additional information or sources.

Answering Questions:

• Stay on Topic: Answers should directly address the question asked. If you need to clarify or expand on the question, please edit the original question or add a comment instead.
• Avoid Commenting on Other Answers: If you want to discuss or clarify another answer, use the comment section under that answer instead of posting a new answer.
• Avoid Pointing to Other Questions: If a question is a duplicate, indicate this by adding a comment such as “Possible duplicate of...” with a link to the relevant question. It’s acceptable to include links to other questions or answers if they provide additional, relevant information.
• Provide Complete Answers: Answers should not consist solely of a link to a solution. Include the solution's description or explanation within your answer, even if it's a copy-paste. Links can be included for reference or further reading but should complement the main content of your answer.
• Avoid Debates: This community Q&A forum is not intended for debates. Please refrain from engaging in discussions within your answers, as this can dilute the purpose of the questions and answers. For brief discussions, use the commenting feature.

Earning Karma Points:

When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted it earns karma points. These points serve as a rough measure of the community's trust in the user. As you accumulate points, you’ll gradually earn the ability to perform various moderation tasks.

• Upvoting and Downvoting: If you ask a valuable question or provide a helpful answer, your contribution will be upvoted. Conversely, if an answer is misleading, it may be downvoted. Each upvote adds 10 points, and each downvote subtracts 10 points. There is a daily limit of 200 points that can be earned for a question or answer.
• Moderation Tasks: The table at the end of this guide explains the reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.
