Hi teams,
Thank you again for participating in the 2018 NSF Student CPS Challenge. Thanks to your effort, we are close to ensuring no robot ever gets left behind!
Results have been posted on the challenge website. As you all experienced, the goal of the competition is challenging and no team finished the mission with full autonomy.
Halmstad University came very close to finishing the mission autonomously, and given the complexity and sophistication of their UAV design, the near miss was a commendable achievement!

ERAU then went ahead to do four trials scoring 10, 40, 40, and 60 points. The breakdown for their current score stands as follows:
