A maintenance team departs from point $A$ to inspect a road in an east-west direction. If traveling east is considered positive and traveling west is considered negative, the team's travel records for the day are as follows: (unit: $km$)

| First Time | Second Time | Third Time | Fourth Time | Fifth Time | Sixth Time | Seventh Time |
