This week the team was tasked with making oral presentations to display their Preliminary Design Report. The team outlined the process it has gone through to develop the proper code and how the design for the AEV was chosen. Attention was given to important challenges that the team faced which lead to crucial changes either in design or code that came from solving these issues. A thorough analysis of the design process outlined how the team weighed the various pro’s and con’s of designs and how they related to achieving goals of being aerodynamic and efficient.
Takeaways:
- The team will need to continue to delegate work effectively in order to ensure efficiency
- The AEV design will need to be built to have a strong balance and center of gravity to maneuver the track without variation
