  • C: 45 secs

Scoring:

15 pts

 

Task 1 distance:

3 laps 7500Mah used

UoT: 2 laps

Landing score: 5 pts

 

passengers security: 20 pts

 

total: 96/ 100 (weight)

 

Task 2:

40 min flight window

Estimate flight window: 10:20 am

Allow broken vehicle team to fly new vehicles unless vehicle suitably repaired (points will not be count)

 

Plans:
No passengers and cargo

in the past we autotune with the weight (will install the passengers and cargo still) Need clarify

 

Strategy:

“landing time is 20 mins after start of flight window”

 

Will take off after @Daniel Puratich @Smile Khatri went back from the flightline

 

Will decent at the last waypoint and make sure not hitting power cable

 

if autonomy is wrong, Nathan will manual control it before(RTL backup) before attempt the landing

 

Will start charging the battery at 7:30 in the morning.

Will start packing up at 8:20 and go through the checklist

Will go to the flight line at 9:20

 

Path:

Waypoint 1: height 3 meter

Overhang: 3 meter

final approach will be about: 1meter 5'

if bad video will land at LZ b

 

connected to the cellphone camera → LTE video (open the video before start) open the upward in the second monitor and potentially move the phone to the side of the drone and can see through downward camera

need to check the latency tmr morning and see which video stream option have the smallest latency analog is noisy but landable open the stream on the ground side

Questions:

Do we have to still at the last waypoint before go?

Can we yaw or change alt before landing window?

How long is the landing window?

What does the 20 minutes mean in the email?

What are the boundary of the flight line?

Can we carry the tower to track the drone?(can we carry the ground station away?)

Can we get the cargo before the flight window?

Within flight window if we crash can we attempt to fix the drone, If there is a hard landing cannot take off again?

And point awarded is landing at a different landing pads?

When is the end of the flight window?(should be informed by the judge)
