Make an offseason t-shirt bomber and it can do that . Make it a gimbaled tilt-quadrotor and then it can do spins while flying on it's side to wow the crowd in a match. Heh, make it a gimbaled quad-tiltrotor powered from a single motor and you can write your meal ticket for life almost. (It's theorectically mechanically feasible, but quite complex to do.)

Then there's the element of autonomous maneuvers that the driver could command the quadrotor to do during the match. It brings about a systems range of questions, ranging from how the user inputs the command at the driver's station to how the quadrotor interprets an executes the maneuver regardless of its current orientation or flight path.
