Droners (2020)
Season 1
A high-tech adventure in an eco-friendly world and a RACE TO SAVE THE PLANET! In Terraqua, a world that is 95% covered in water, the eco-technology genius Wyatt Whale has organized the Whale Cup, a drone race competition to determine his future apprentice. Team Tiki, Corto, Mouse & Enki, is determined to win the competition: each race is set in a different location, and having the best pilot does not always mean having the best chance to win; the teams need to analyze the circuit and adapt to its natural environment, often using biomimicry. Team Tiki will pull out all the tricks and tenacity they have to compete against their fierce opponents! But the Tikis are not only after glory; becoming Wyatt Whale’s new apprentices is also their only chance to access the newest eco-technology and find a way to prevent their island from sinking into the ocean!
