The team’s first round of performance testing was set in place to ensure the team was on the right track. The objective was to have an AEV prototype successfully proceed through the beginning half of the track , stop at the automatic gate for 7 seconds, then proceed through the gate. Below is the data and information regarding the success of the first performance test.
Successful Test Code
