"Kono Yubi Tomare" is a member-driven mini-event project where the "likes" and "strengths" of OFP members become events. For more details about the project, please see here.

The first project of "Kono Yubi Tomare" is the "Drone Soccer Trial Flying Event"!

What is drone soccer?

It is a new sport that can be enjoyed safely by protecting the drone with a spherical guard. Players are divided into teams of 5 and pilot drones, aiming to shoot into the opponent’s goal post. The controls are simple, so even beginners can enjoy it right away.
