In order to nab the $250,000 prize, competitors must create a machine that is able to hover for a minute and reach a height of ten feet, all while staying [in a] 10-meter box. Gamera is made of ultra-light components, and though its wingspan measures more than 100 feet, it only weighs about 80 pounds.”
