Preliminary Research and Development

The purpose of the preliminary research and development was to help the team gain a better understanding of what was to come in the upcoming AEV project.  Through this research, Team M learned the basics of programming the arduino, the use of reflectance sensors on the AEV, how to use the performance tool to record and analyze data, ways to think creatively by coming up with unique designs for the AEV, and how to screen and score these individual designs.
