The second category is docking. The vessel must start off by safely docking in a berth with minimal impact, both by normal docking and parallel docking. A GPS-point will be given as location of the berth. To clarify, AR-tags are not included in this year's competition.
OBJECTIVE
The ASV will start at GPS point 5, approx 5m from the dock. The ASV shall then move towards GPS-point 6, located inside the berth, and dock (stay stationary) for 5 sec.
ELEMENTS
Berth
Grey
2m x 2m (L x W)
2 GPS-coordinates
GPS-point 5 and 6 Provided before start

TASK GUIDELINE
Step 1:
You are at the dock and it is your turn.
Step 2:
You are given the clear signal from the Chief Marshall to steer your vessel to GPS-point 5 of Task 2.1. This shall be done through Remote Control.
Step 3:
Once given the go-ahead from the Chief Marhsall, you must switch to Autonomous Mode, and your ASV may start its attempt at Task 2.1. Your turn starts when given the go-ahead.
Step 4:
Once reached GPS-point 6 inside the berth, your ASV shall stay stationary for 5 seconds, before it again exits the berth and returns towards GPS-point 5.
Step 6:
Once reached GPS-point 5 again, your attempt finishes. Then the ASV shall stay stationary there, waiting for the go-ahead to proceed. You may switch to Remote Control if needed.
OBJECTIVE:
The ASV will start at GPS point 5, approx 5m from the barge. The ASV shall then move towards GPS-point 7, located inside the barge, and parallell dock (stay stationary) for 5 sec.

TASK GUIDELINE
Step 1:
Once given the go-ahead from the Chief Marhsall, you must switch to Autonomous Mode, and your ASV may start its attempt at Task 2.2. Your turn starts when given the go-ahead.
Step 2:
Once reached GPS-point 7 inside the berth, your ASV shall stay stationary for 5 seconds, before it again exits the berth and returns towards GPS-point 5.
Step 3:
Once reached GPS-point 5 again, your attempt finishes. Then the ASV shall stay stationary there, waiting for the go-ahead to proceed. You may switch to Remote Control if needed.
Step 4:
When the Chief Marshall gives the go-ahead, you may steer the ASV safely back to the dock in Remote Control.
