2. Status Update Finished System Implementation Most Automation Most Testing Working On Final Demo Power / System Init Compaction RC Truck Automated Script to Plot Points Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

3. The Tests: Single Point Fidelity Hypothesis To Show Data Fidelity Even w/ Extreme Testing Test Setup System, Single Spot on Football Field, Cold, Cloudy Metrics Latitude, Longitude, and Satellite’s Found Workload Poll System for Data 20 Times at a Polling Rate of 3/Minute Parameters Shielding, Position, Speed, Weather Test Run Position, Speed, and Weather Constant with Shielding Variable Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

4. The Data: Scatter Graphs (lat vs. long) No Shielding Strong Shielding Strong+ Shielding with Electrical Interference X-Axis: Longitude Y-Axis: Latitude Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

5. The Data: Pie Graphs: Satellites Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

6. The Data: Bar Graphs (Data Fidelity) Scale: 1 point of latitude =.0001851 kilometers = 0.607283465 Feet X-axis: Thickness By Test, Y-axis: Feet Starting Point: 4026.6100N Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

7. The Data: Bar Graphs (Data Fidelity) 1 point of longitude =.0001414 kilometers = 0.463910761 feet X-axis: Thickness By Test, Y-axis: Feet Starting Point: 07956.4364W Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

8. The Tests: Path Fidelity Hypothesis To Show Movement and Quick Direction Change Do Not Effect Fidelity Test Setup System, Path on Football Field, Cold, Partly-Cloudy Metrics Latitude, Longitude Workload Poll System for Data at a Polling Rate of 12/Minute for 20 walks around our path (across field at 10yrd line -> 20yrd line -> across field -> 10yrd line) Parameters Shielding, Position, Speed, Weather Test Run Shielding, Speed, and Weather Constant with Position Variable Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

9. The Data: Scatter Graph (lat vs. long) X-Axis (rotated 90 degrees): Longitude Y-Axis (rotated 90 degrees): Latitude Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

10. The Data: General On Average 6 Satellites Found Distances from Path have Low Variance of only a few feet Outliers account for less than 3% of the data Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer

11. Conclusion Data Fidelity within bounds for both tests (within 150 feet) Latency to poll is << than the shortest polling time we plan to have available. Update Time Cannot Be Tested Yet Author: Nicholas Brockmeyer
