It's been two years since we were on a big field test but we're off to live in a gravel pit in Sudbury, Ontario for two weeks, once again. We'll be testing a new version of Visual Teach & Repeat (and plan to drive 100 km autonomously), a cliff-descending tethered robot for geological mapping, and some small fixed-wing planes for aerial surveillance. Image on the right shows the big pile of gear we're starting to gather for our trip. We've even got the floorplan of our office truck mocked up and have been making sure our power system will work. Hoping for no bugs, both software and of the insect variety.
