#1 !! And the real winners are...

Today, on June the 16th, we have managed to ALSO win the Mars Mission!
Although this was certainly not one of our best runs; As we never experienced before while testing, the Rover didn't move anymore halfway the mission and seemed to be in some kind of deadlock. But after a quick restart, the rover could continue and measure the lake again (although it was the same lake).
Another thing that went wrong was that the first lake measurement was not actually in the lake. The temperature sensor missed the lake a bit and hit the ground.

But we could give a short representation of our code and convince the jury. The Rover managed to receive coordinates from Earth multiple times, drive to it and measure a lake 2 times (although it was the same lake). Both lake-temperatures were sent succesfully to Earth. Furthermore, we could give a nice impression of our smart lake finding stategy (the 'random drive' mode) and showed that we had a robust edge detection by not falling of an edge.

As said before, our Mission today was not a very good mission, but we still outperformed the other groups.
The best mission of our Rover is visualized in the movie on June the 14th, where all the lakes where found and 2 of them where measured correctly.
