DroneWarz is a grass-r00tz initiative that was conceived of and started at DefCon23 as part of a Robotics hacking program. DroneWarz officially took to the skyz as an independent program at DefCon25 as a workstation within the R00tz Asylum village. This workstation was so popular that 


DroneWarz was asked to submit as a full village at DefCon for DefCon26.  

Now DroneWarz is an annual hacking village that is found at DefCon and R00tz Asylum to allow both youth and adult attendees the unique opportunity to participate in skill-based drone hacking challenges and explore ways to improve drone safety and operational responsibility in our occupied skyz. DroneWarz is now the first R00tz workstation to become a full DefCon village.

This is the DroneWarz program introduction for DefCon25 at R00tz Asylum. Team DW facilitated a workstation for building drones, race simulations, and our first payloadz release on Raspberry PI.  This program soared from these r00tz into a Hacking Village at DEFCON26. Much more to come!
