Name / class (optional)

Local bay grids: metres, +x right, +y up. v = v₀ + at; Δx = v₀t + at²/2; v² = v₀² + 2aΔx; Δx = (v₀ + v)t/2. Use one constant-acceleration interval and axis at a time. Pause to plan; resources freeze.

Bay 4 / Practical observations

What happened after releasing the cable? Compare the two practice bodies without a mass calculation.

Bay 8 / Initial map

Same map as student packet page 5. Gray = wall; crossed box = cargo; dashed rectangle = shutter (crossed = closed); circle = O₂; triangle = initial drone contact. Start at A, stop at B then C; activate C to open the x=30 gates. Relay console (74,48) takes 3 s below 0.3 m/s without an alarm. The upper x=48 shutter closes after a 3 s warning when clear; return through the lower crossing. Patrols react: adapt to live observations.

Outbound and return waypoints / observations

L1-Q12 / B8

Stop at (24,18) then (24,34) from (6,18), at rest. Acceleration magnitude 1 m/s2; cruise speeds 3 m/s horizontally, 2 m/s vertically. Derive the six-row plan.
