A participant flies a nano drone at the trials for Pluto Racing League

The future isn't here in India yet when it comes to driverless delivery vans such as the ones being tested in the US or robots serving tables in Japan. But while drones still haven't quite invaded the Indian airspace, their increasing presence has prompted the government to draft regulations concerning their use. These rules, though, are meant only for those devices that are above 250 gm in weight. Nano drones, on the other hand, don't fall under the ambit of the law since these weigh roughly between 40 and 100 gm. They are available for anyone to play around with and now, the country's first nano drone racing competition is set to unfold over the next weekend at Lower Parel.
