+         - Time
+         - Team ID
+         - Checksum
+        It must return a list of the required information in the correct order.

+        CameraData is a class that contains the image frame and the results of a Yolo model (if running).
+        And can be accessed like so:
+            camera_data.frame
+            camera_data.results
+
+        PositionData is a class that contains the current position and heading of the vehicle.
+        And can be accessed like so:
+            position_data.lat : float
+            position_data.lon : float
+            position_data.position : tuple (lat, lon)
+            position_data.heading : float

+            "end_mission": bool # Whether to end the mission
+        }
+
+        You can log/print data by using the self.log() function inherited from the Logger class.
+        It is f-string compatible so you can call it like so:
+            self.log(f"Position: {position_data.position}")
+            or just self.log("hi there") or self.log(variable)
