- After the advanced research and development, the team decided to advance with the vertical AEV as the AEV that will be used for the future runs. Picture of it can be seen below.
- This design was chosen because:
- The higher friction force will cause the AEV to coast to almost a complete stop before reaching the gates, the loading zone, and the starting zone.
- The high propeller force causing the AEV to move the load more easily
- There being no big energy difference between this prototype and the horizontal prototype.
