Competition is heating up! One rover did 1'32"! Our second run was better than the first. We did five laps, but only the first counted. Unfortunately, the judges said we missed the first waypoint and cut off a corner. Too bad, because we did it in 32 seconds! The other laps, naturally enough, were all perfect but didn't count.

We've increased the radius and pushed that first waypoint out a bit further for round three, in about an hour. Please wind don't pick up....

Oh, and in manually landing the plane after one test run Jordi got caught in a low tree hanging over a little river! We drove around the river and I climbed the tree to shake it out. I think it's the most useful thing I've done all day...certainly made for some entertaining photos, which will no doubt be emerging soon.
