Cameras are not all they're cracked up to be. These guys also have FPV wings that they fly to try to collide. That is even more difficult to do than controlling from ground view. You have no depth perception and in order to get enough wide-view to be useful you introduce a lot of field curvature.

Let me hunt down . Frankly, you can't see squat, even with a 90º field of view. Those guys piloting with Mark I eyeballs stuck on the ground have it all over you flying with a camera. Remember this is 58 independently piloted planes TRYING to hit one another.

The mythology of drones is totally at odds with their true characteristics.
