Teams that qualify will have access to a full Semi-Finals Course once one becomes available. These courses consist of six (6) tasks: the mandatory navigation channel and tasks 2-6. Only one team may be on a Semi-Finals/Finals Course at a time. Note that teams may not know what course they are assigned until right before the start of their time slot.
During a Semi-Finals/Finals run the ASV must:
operate autonomously throughout the entire run; no remote-controlled survey runs allowed and teams must navigate directly back to the starting position with no deviations when resetting for another run.
enter the course through the gates in Task 1: Evacuation Route (Entry and Exit Gates).
transmit a heartbeat message to begin the run (as described in Section 3.3).
attempt the remaining Tasks 2-6 of their choice, in any order.
exit the course through the gates in Task 1: Evacuation Route (Entry and Exit Gates), at the end of the run.
