Each contestant is told to travel 22.2 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0° west of south. After the specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock. The winner is the person who takes the shortest time to reach the location of the silver dollar.

After takeoff you lose sight of the drone and, a few seconds later, the controls malfunction and the drone stops sending visual images and navigational information except for speed and directional data. Changing speeds erratically, the drone heads west until it makes a drastic turn at the 5-minute mark to -30° east of south. After nearly ten minutes, the speed drops to zero and the drone stops sending data. It has crashed. Using the speed/directional data, the team draws up the graph shown below.
