Burning Man 2021 – Renegade Edition

CANCELED?!?!?! NOT AGAIN!!! After seeing the turnout for the Renegade Burn in 2020, we all decided we were going back in 2021 no matter what. For not planning any official interactivity, the week was quite eventful. We provided much-needed shade to passers-by that led to many great conversations and friendships.

Robot Disco and our new mutant vehicle, Hootie, made their maiden voyages to the playa.

Because there was no airport, we were also able to bring drones to give renegade burners FPV rides to see aerial views of the playa. We also connected with a drone camp to help set up an incredible drone show one night.

Overall, it was wonderful with a side of danger.

10-mile ride out to the edge of Playa. I was worried Robot Disco was going to run out of battery the whole time.

We handed out DMV inspection stickers to the mutant vehicles that showed up this year.

There was no airport, so we were able to fly drones. This was a panoramic image stitched together from five photos taken with a DJI Mavic Air 2. I also took out a few FPV drones so that we can fly and give burners and bird’s eyes view with FPV goggles.
