This update introduces some cool new toys for track builders to play around with: a selection of trigger blocks. These blocks can add different kinds of functionality to tracks. Triggering one of them with your drone could show a text on screen, play a tune, recharge your lipos, repair prop damage or kill your drone. These trigger blocks can be scaled to fit any area the track builder wishes to use them in.

Floor-is-lava challenges? Riddle quests? Functional pitstops? Musical tracks, playing funky tunes as you fly along?
We can't wait to see what you create with it!
