The team tested the difference between having one motor verses two motors on the AEV. After completing this test, it was concluded from the results that having two motors on the AEV produces about twice as much power as one motor. This makes sense because each motor will create a specific amount of power and having two motors would mean twice the amount of power. Although two motors uses twice as much power, two motors enabled the AEV to travel about three times the distance of one motor. This was observed in lab when the AEV with only one motor barely moved down the track compared to the AEV with two motors that traveled much farther. With these results, the group has decided to use two motors for their performance test in the following week.
Two Motors:
Power vs. Time
Power vs. Distance
