Test 1
Both motors on the AEV accelerate to 40% of max speed in 3 seconds, continue for 3 seconds and then decelerate to zero in two seconds.
Code:
reverse(4);
celerate(4,0,40,3);
goFor(3);
celerate(4,40,0,2);
Graphs:
Power vs Distance
Power vs Time
Test 2 & 5
Both motors on the AEV accelerate to 40% of max speed in 3 seconds, then decelerate to zero in two seconds.
Code:
reverse(4);
celerate(4,0,40,3);
celerate(4,40,0,2);
Graphs:
Power vs Distance
Power vs Time
Conclusion:
Having the propellers flat resulted in the AEV traveling the furthest distance. Second was the current design and the propellers angled downward had the least distance traveled
Test 3 & 4
Both motors on the AEV accelerate to 40% of max speed in 3 seconds, continue for 1 second and then decelerate to zero in two seconds.
Code:
reverse(4);
celerate(4,0,40,3);
goFor(1);
celerate(4,40,0,2);
Graphs:
Power vs Distance
Power vs Time
Conclusion:
The current design of our AEV was the most efficient during these tests and it traveled the furthest distance. The current design outperforms the flat design over a longer period of time. The design with the propellers angled down severely under-performed in this trial.
