Question 12

An amateur drone racing club is developing an embedded control system to automate an individual time-trial race. The race requires a drone to complete exactly 3 laps of a 150-metre obstacle course (totaling 450 metres).

The system is connected to the following hardware peripherals:

  • Launchpad infrared alignment sensors
  • Starter LED matrix (displays a countdown, then a solid blue start signal)
  • Abort siren and a flashing amber warning light
  • RFID gate scanner at the start/finish line
  • Electronic digital scoreboard display

Create an algorithm using structured English (or a structured written description) to manage the control of this 3-lap drone time-trial using the peripherals listed.
