Overview

In this MP you'll learn how to work with autonomous hardware rovers and then launch an attack against one. You will be working in groups of three (pre-assigned) and each group will be assigned one rover.

This MP is split in two parts (Click on the links below to go to the corresponding sections):

Setup. [10 Points] [Due: Nov 18th, 2022 (6:00 PM -- note time)]
Attack. [40 Points] [Due: Dec 14th, 2022 (11:59 PM)]

You'll need to complete both parts to get full credit.

Hardware Access Policy

To complete this MP, you will need physical access to the rover.
To access the rover, your group will have to reserve a time slot.
As stated above, you'll work in groups of three. Only 2 groups can work together on a given day.
For safety reasons, you will work on the rover only in the presence of the TA.
You can work with the rover for anywhere between 2-4 hours.
You will only be able to work on the rover that has been assigned to your group.

Reserving a time slot

Get in touch with your teammates via Email/Creating Blackboard Thread and decide a common time which aligns with the time slots given in the spreadsheet below.
It's not mandatory for all team member to be at every reserved slot but it is recommended. However a fairly equal effort is required by each team member towards solving this MP.
Given time constraints, only 2 groups can work on the rover on a given day, thus there will be 2 slots to reserve per day. Both groups can work concurrently.
There may be 4-5 slots every week depending on the TA's availability.
To reserve a time slot, please please fill out this spreadsheet every week as early as possible.
Just write your name or your group's number in the column corresponding to the weekday you want reserve.
The reservations are first come first serve.
If you have any questions, please email the TA.

Location

Rovers are to be collected from the TA.
You will find the TA at:
4900 Research, SEH Building.
His desk is the one which has a big Screw Driver set on it.
We will post additional signs around the lab to help you find the TA.
Note: (You may need to tap your card to get into the area, please email the TA if your card doesn't works or you have any other problem.)

Conflicts and Concerns

Any time conflicts or other concerns should be brought to the Prof/TA's attention as soon as possible.

Grading and Peer Evaluation

Note we will institute a peer rating system for this assignment since we have three people in each group. This is how it will work:

The group will turn in a single one page document that clearly lists the contributions of each group member.
Each team member will receive a rating [between 1--5, 5 being best] from each of their other team members.
The rating is intended to show the level of contributions by that team member. So if you think your teammate contributed well then they should get a high rating, else a medium or low rating.
We will average the ratings for each team member.

Here is how the ratings will be used: if your average drops below 4 then we will deduct points from your grade for this assignment. The deduction will be as followed:

4 -- 5	Full grade
2 -- 3	-5 points
1	-10 points

For instance, let's say your group got 45 points (out of 50) for the assignment. Group members A, B and C receive the following peer ratings: A (4), B (3), C (5). So their final scores for the assignment will be: A (45, no reduction), B(40, -5), C (45, no reduction).
A peer review form will be made available to everyone after the demo deadline.
