Yes I had a number of waypoints at the center of the peninsula. The first WP was the one that would set the speed and the stopping point. If I set the speed over 7 m/s I would get an overshoot of the WP so I had a second WP that I set to 5 m/s and set the ROI to 20 meters so the octo would start to slow down before it reached the center of the peninsula. When I had a waypoint to lower a few meters before the ball drop. When two more WP to yaw 180 degrees with each one. After that the next WP had the altitude increase 15 meters and the speed in the last run was 18 m/s. 20 m/s was the fastest I had flown so just a little wind could have caused an altitude change and I was really pushing the octo at 18 m/s with the wind we had.
I was really trying to have someone else compete because I had a trip to get ready for and I would not be back in the country till just before the contest. I wish I had the time before the contest to learn how to do the contest much better. Tonight I was just testing using higher Tilt Angle PIDs and found I could have had much faster acceleration and deacceleration.
Well there's always the next contest.
