Payload Drop:
At a designated point along the flight path, the drone must perform a soft landing and
autonomously release the payload within the designated dropping zone.

Autonomous Operation:
No team member is allowed to remove the payload manually from the drone. The payload
release must be commanded by the pilot via an RC (Radio Control).

Additional Bonus Points:

Teams have the opportunity to earn bonus points by successfully mission planning the flight
within a 5-minute time limit. If the mission plan is approved, they will receive additional points.

Teams will be evaluated based on three key factors:

Payload to Empty Weight Ratio: Points awarded based on the payload's weight relative to
the drone's empty weight.
Time Taken to Complete the Round: Points are awarded for efficiently completing the
mission.
Battery Efficiency: Evaluate the power difference of the battery before and after the flight,
rewarding efficient power usage.

Scoring Criteria:
Payload to empty weight ratio(PEWR) = Payload carried/empty weight of aircraft,(weight of
aircraft includes everything except the payload)

P=PEWR * 100.

Minimum time taken to execute the mission(Tmin)

T=100 / Tmin

Efficiency = power before takeoff - power after landing. (power = voltage * capacity of battery)
E=100/Efficiency.
