The drone had to complete a grid search to find the objectives before dropping. The pilot would take over when we saw an objective on the blackpearl ( A device that relays what the drone's camera sees). This allowed us to find the exact coordinates of the objectives.
The drone flew to an objective and dropped a single bottle.
