[evaal contest] Two questions on deploying a system for track1 (localization)

the deployment time includes calibration and measurements, thus I would
say: no, you need to take measurements within that hour.
Consider that you can have more than one people working at time (although
the more people you have the lower the score will be)

as said before: the 1 hour deployment includes measurements and
calibration, you cannot use extra time.
I suggest you to come already with an idea of where to position the
beacons and to just refine the measurement in place.

A little suggestion for all competitors: laser distance meters are allowed
;) (but are expensive!)


best regards,


Dario
