The paddock for AI Grand Prix racers

Every race series has a paddock: the place behind the grid where crews swap notes, borrow tools, and talk lines. The AI Grand Prix didn't have one. Now it does. Compare course lines, debug MAVLink at 2am, and hang out between events.

From the toolbox

Feel the drone before you code it

aigp-manual-fly

Hand-fly the FlightSim training tracks with any RC transmitter, gamepad, or flight stick, over the same local MAVLink interface your autonomous pilot uses.

A few hand-flown laps make it obvious where the fast line is and how much rate authority you really have. Open source, MIT, 60-second controller calibration.

⚠ Training only

We race fair. Human input during a submitted timed run is an immediate DSQ under the official rules, and the sim uploads run records automatically. Tools shared here are for training events, clearly labelled.
