Success!

It's only about noon on Day 2 and UMA has already completed another test run with excellent results! We ran the buoy course twice today with Serenity completing the course with no hitches on fully autonomous mode. She did miss 1 pair on each run, and on reviewing the logs, we realized that the lighting completely washes out the red in the red buoys making it hard for our cameras to pick up. With some tweaking, we should be able to solve that problem too. The lake divider that we implemented last night worked perfectly, and Serenity completely avoided the other course. We're now prepping the boat for our second run of the day at 3.00pm, where we hope to start tackling the challenge stations. Stay tuned!
