[meta] Speed Challenge

[HALtheWise]

The purpose of this task is to demonstrate the quality of the path planning and naval engineering of the vehicle. The vehicle enters through the gate buoys, circles the mark buoy counterclockwise, and exits through the same gate buoys as quickly as possible. The vehicle must come to a full stop three to six feet from the gate buoys before attempting this challenge. The gate buoys are a red and a green Polyform A-2 buoys six to ten feet apart from each other. The mark buoy is a blue Polyform A-2 buoy placed 100 to 250 feet from the gate buoys. The speed challenge timing is measured from the time the bow of the vehicle passes through the gate buoys (entry) to the time the stern of the vehicle passed through the gate buoys (exit).

Note: Polyform A2 buoys are roughly 14-15 inches in diameter.
