control

Once the competition starts control gets busy.

OnGlide completely automates basic control tasks. All information is updated on the competition website in realtime so everybody else knows what's happening as well!

Control keeps track of what is happening throughout the competition. This is done using a specialised login which only shows the tasks appropriate at any given time.

The core part of the system tracks what competitors are doing. Did they launch? Have they finished? And, most importantly, quickly and easily coordinating landouts and their retrieves.
