The firm's history dates back to 2003, when company founders, Roberto and Charita Puentespina leased farm land in Malagos in the Baguio District of Davao City where cacao trees were already in the area.

She would use the harvested cacao beans to make tablea by roasting them in firewood then grinding and molding them.
The resulting chocolate were found to have a silky flavor. |

From 1945 she was employed as a teacher in Blankenfelde-Mahlow, a small town just outside Berlin on the city's south side. She trained and worked under the "Neulehrer" scheme introduced in the aftermath of the Second World War by the military administrative bodies controlling the western two thirds of Germany between 1945 and 1949. She married Günther Feustel who also became a school teacher after the war. The Soviet occupation zone in which they lived together was relaunched as the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) in October 1949.

The Princess Victoria dates from 1829 and was one of London's earliest gin palaces. It was popular with commuters when the tram began carrying 1,000 passengers a day between Acton and the Uxbridge Road. Commuters could enjoy a "quick gin and water" before returning home. One of the first licensees was one George Turner. Designed in the grand Victorian style, this imposing red brick building with stucco ornaments was for many years a "rough Irish pub" until its gentrification in the early 2000s. |

The Drone Racing League (DRL) is a professional drone racing league that operates internationally. DRL pilots race first-person view (FPV) with identical, custom-built drones at speeds above 80 mph through three-dimensional courses. News publication Quartz described DRL as feeling "like pod-racing from Star Wars" with "hopes [of becoming] the Formula 1, NASCAR and MotoGP of drone racing." |
54825936_0_1 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
Founded in 2015 and launched publicly in January 2016, DRL is broadcast on Twitter, NBC, NBC Sports, Sky Sports, ProSiebenSat.1, FOX Sports Asia, Groupe AB, and OSN. Former broadcast partners include ESPN and Disney XD. |
54825936_0_2 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
The league is currently in its fourth season, the 2019 DRL Allianz World Championship Season, which features seven races in locations including Allianz Riviera in Nice, France, BMW Welt in Munich, Germany, and The Adventuredome in Las Vegas, Nevada. |

54825936_0_4 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. History
DRL CEO and founder Nicholas Horbaczewski started the league in 2015 after serving as the chief revenue officer of Tough Mudder. Horbaczewski purchased a company called DroneKraft to develop an internal technology department. |
54825936_0_5 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
Horbaczewski partnered with Ryan Gury, who designed and built the league's drones and serves as its director of product. Early investors included Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. |
54825936_0_6 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
In September 2016, DRL announced global media distribution agreements with ESPN, Sky and ProSieben, and a close of $12mm in Series A funding, led by RSE Ventures and Lux Capital. Other investors included MGM Television, CAA Ventures, Hearst Ventures, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, Courtside Ventures and Strauss Zelnick. |

54825936_0_9 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
In 2018, DRL announced new sponsorship agreements with Lockheed Martin and Cox Communications, as well as extended relationships with Allianz, BMW, the U.S. Air Force, and Fatshark. |
54825936_0_10 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
In 2019, DRL signs a new U.S. broadcast deal with NBC Sports and will planned to carry 44 hours of coverage on NBCSN and the NBC broadcast network. |
54825936_0_11 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League.
In January 2021, DRL officially announced that DraftKings would be awarded the official betting partner label. This enables the company to gain betting and marketing advantages in its league. DRL also announced new sponsorship agreements with T-Mobile, Algorand and Draganfly. Ahead of the start of the 2021–22 season, it was announced that NBCSN will shut down at the end of 2021, with the date of December 31 as the actual date; the DRL announced that the remainder of the 2021–22 season will moved to the NBC network following the closure of NBCSN. |
54825936_1_0 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
Horbaczewski claims that at its core, DRL is a technology company. DRL's expert engineers hand-built a fleet of identical racing drones, developed a proprietary radio system to enable DRL drones to race through large scale courses through eight feet of concrete, and created a realistic drone racing sim, the DRL Simulator. |
54825936_1_1 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
According to Horbaczewski, DRL "develop[s] all of our drones in-house" in order to "create a level playing field" for races. For Horbaczewski, "it was important to make sure that when you saw a pilot win a race, you knew that was the best pilot, not necessarily the person flying a faster drone." |
54825936_1_2 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
All DRL drones are identical in spec, but are covered in hundreds of ultra-bright LEDs to help viewers easily follow the action. As described by Wired, the LED rigs also "lend a Tron-like aesthetic to the races." |
54825936_1_3 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
Built for speed rather than stability, DRL drones differ from commercial drones. Beginning in 2020, a variant of the latest model flown by DRL pilots will be available to the public. |
54825936_1_4 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
Since its launch, DRL pilots have flown three types of drones: the Racer2 in 2016, the Racer3 in 2017–2018, and the Racer4 beginning in 2019. |
54825936_1_5 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Racer2
In 2016, DRL traveled with a fleet of 100 Racer2 drones to its races. The Racer2 had two or three minutes of battery life, topping out at 80 mph. The drone weighed slightly heavier than a normal racing drone due to the LED lights covering each craft, needed for visibility and pilot identification. |
54825936_1_6 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
Racer2 drones also had exposed electronics that made them more susceptible to damage from crashes. |
54825936_1_7 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Racer3
In 2017, DRL introduced the Racer3 drone, flown by DRL pilots throughout the 2017 and 2018 DRL Allianz World Championship Seasons. The Racer3 is more powerful and agile than the Racer2 and can accelerate from 0 to 80 mph in less than a second and fly as high as 6-8 kilometers. |
54825936_1_8 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
The Racer3 has 16 pounds of thrust (~7:1 thrust as it weight ~1 kg, good fpv quads are ~12:1) with a top speed of around 90 mph. |
54825936_1_9 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
Unlike the Racer2, the Racer3 has a hard shell or canopy to protect it from crashes. |
54825936_1_10 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
DRL brought a fleet of identical 600 Racer3 drones to every race in 2018. |
54825936_1_11 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. RacerX
In July 2017, Ryan Gury and his team of drone engineers designed and hand built the DRL RacerX, setting the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Ground Speed by a Battery-powered Remote-controlled Quadcopter. Weighing less than two pounds, the RacerX hit a top speed of 179.6 miles per hour, the official record-breaking speed was recorded as 163.5 miles per hour. |
54825936_1_12 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
Earlier prototypes of the RacerX burst into flames when hitting its peak acceleration due to the amount of power it used. |
54825936_1_13 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Racer4
In the 4th season, DRL introduced the all new Racer4 drone. While visually similar to the Racer3, the Racer 4 boasts larger props at the expense of added weight to what was already a powerhouse of a quadcopter. |
54825936_1_14 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. DRL Simulator
To broaden the accessibility of drone racing, DRL created the DRL Simulator, which helps pilots fly FPV better in real life, and is downloadable on Steam. The sim features a 50-mission tutorial to help teach aspiring pilots how to fly before buying a real drone. Once in-game, pilots can fly real drones on real DRL race maps that they have seen on television. |
54825936_1_15 | 54825936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone%20Racing%20League | Drone Racing League | Drone Racing League. Technology
The league holds an annual live esports tournament on the DRL Sim called the Swatch DRL Tryouts, which transform gamers into pro pilots overnight. The winner of the competition earns a spot as the official Swatch Pilot in The Drone Racing League with a $75,000 professional contract. Recent pilot recruits from the Tryouts include Jacob "Jawz" Schneider and Emmanuel "UFO" Mota. |
