    If we place a trap in the correct location, but it tips on its side once it is released, what are the rules regarding corrections and point deductions or disqualification during a single attempt?

    ‹ Can the 'mosquito holes' on the trap be blocked during flight? Can we be provided a no-fly-zone map so we know what we're working with? ›

    If the trap is deposited

    If the trap is deposited safely and the vehicle departs, it is considered a sucess.

    If the trap seems to be placed correctly but the act of releasing the mechanism and flying away tips the trap over, it is not a success.

    If after a successful release, the trap later falls over due to some external factor (wind/animal) then no points are deducted. It will be the discretion of the judging team whether the trap was moved by an external factor.
