We have tested different configuration of the propellers for better performance on our AEV.
After running each test and observing the test runs as well as analyzing the data, the group has decided that using both of our orange propellers (bigger set) and having the shiny side facing outwards is the most beneficial setup for our AEV.
Data and analysis graphs are listed below.

All 5 tests shows similar graph for Time vs Energy because we have used one set of codes for all tests. There is little difference between each test due to random error caused by the battery.

This graph clearly states that the Orange-Orange set is the best configuration of propeller. We will use this configuration to continue develop our AEV.
