Lesson F2.4: Mission Order, Recovery, and Time

Mission order is a route-planning problem. Combine nearby objectives when the added attachment and alignment risk is small. Split a long route when returning home makes the next launch simpler and more reliable.

The simulator estimates motion and attachment time and stops programs beyond 150 seconds. A real match also spends time on launches, attachment changes, and recovery. Leave margin rather than planning to exactly 150 seconds.

Simulator practice

Activate the yellow target and cross the line in either order. Compare elapsed time and path length, then add a return home.
