From the programmers point of view went Maxík beyond expectations. The shift between weed detection in the camera image and the moment when the spraying device should start was approximately 75cm. But in this time weed could be detected on the other side or another one in the same side. Shortly, at 12:30 organizers took our robots, and we had to blindly implement these "time delayed command" during speeches of ministers, sponsors and organizers. And without any test! And it could ruin even first two tasks … well, I would not like to do it again, the luck was on our side. Actually not completely. Robot with high precision detected center of weeds, and with tooting siren, blinking LEDs and spraying that you could see holes in the ground after passing the first row judge cried: "STOP, STOP, STOP". He said something that we are not supposed to spray the green squares without daisy and if we are able to change it. That time I consider him a fool, but now I think that we could try something like verification of white in place where we found the green patches. I could __maybe__ work. Oh well. It perfectly sprayed green squares but points probably were not good. From the log file we can read that the robot traveled without touch over five rows and sprayed maybe 100 times, but it was not appreciated. What makes me happy is that in this task scored UTrooper/Cogito MART.
