This is the standard issue MultiGP Chapter gate. It features durable vinyl mesh panels and creates a 5×5 opening. We suggest PVC pipe for a lightweight yet durable gate.
A double gate tower is two standard gates stacked on top of each other.
A ladder is 3 standard gates elevated stacked on top of each other.
A tower is a standard gate elevated 5 feet off the ground.
This size of gate is specifically made for large, Championship-caliber races. The larger 7’x6′ opening encourages better racing and less crashing as top-level drone racing pilots battle for position at high speeds.
A tower is a standard 7×6 gate elevated 6′ off the ground.
Double Gate Towers are built from two 7×6 gates stacked on top of each other.
Ladders are built by stacking 3 standard 7×6 gates on top of each other. Pilots then orbit up or down the ladder, adding an interesting flight line to your race course.
This ladder is built like the standard ladder but without the topmost panel.
The dive gate is elevated 15′ and features a slight angle to facilitate entry into the gate.
The launch gate forces pilots to punch the throttle and launch upwards through a 7×6 opening. The launch gate is not angled like the dive gate. Please note: panels should be facing the ground since pilots will be entering the gate from below.
The Split-S gate forces pilots up and over the gate, and not around the sides. The flags enforce this flight line and are 1.5′ behind and to the side of the gate. This means pilots must perform a split-s maneuver or a slower 180 degree turn to navigate this obstacle.
The offset 90 gate is a combination of a standard gate with a standard tower, but joining them at a 90 degree offset. Pilots enter the tower, and exit via the lower gate.
Hurdles are great for slowing down racers and forcing some more technicality in their piloting. Hurdles are often used with gates to create quick up and down successions that both slow down and challenge the pilot.

Just like the hurdle but massive!
This giant wall creates an amazing backdrop for the starting line and acts like a supersized hurdle, making pilots elevate their drones in order to clear it.
New obstacle for the 2023 GQ, gate with built in flag. It features durable vinyl mesh panels and creates a 5×5 opening, with a third side panel on top. The top of the side panel is zip tied to a 1 foot pipe extending from the 5 foot vertical pole. The bottom of the side panel is secured to the gate top via zip ties from the eyelets.
To be legal for a GQ course, the side panel must be a minimum of 5 feet tall. The minimum width of 1 feet must extend from the top of the gate up a minimum of 5 feet. The side panel must be as parallel as possible to the other gate sides, we recommend the zip tie technique listed above.
The h-Hurdle is a simple and elegant obstacle on a course. These are constructed using the standard MultiGP hurdle which is 5′ tall and 10′ wide. The addition of a gate leg panel on the top is done with a 3 way connector to a 5’pole. On top of the 5′ pole there is a 90 degree connector and an additional 1′ pole. This additional pole is used to zip tie the gate leg eyelet to prevent the panel from blowing in the wind.
MultiGP is the largest professional drone racing league in the world. Because of this, MultiGP hosts frequent competitive gatherings and casual events within its extensive network. The Organization currently has over 30,000 registered pilots in addition to 500 active chapters worldwide. MultiGP nurtures its Chapters by providing tools, guidance and community support. Due to this structure drone racing is fun, organized and rewarding for pilots, Chapter Organizers and spectators.
