In order to assist the Rebel Alliance in their efforts against the tyrannical rule of the Galactic Empire, Group K has assembled to construct an energy and cost efficient Advanced Energy Vehicle (AEV) that will be able to autonomously navigate along a monorail system to pick up cargo (R2D2) and successfully return that cargo to their base. Along with the required navigational success of the AEV, the vehicle must also have a low energy consumption due to the lack of accessible energy on the Rebel’s remote planet. Finally, since the monorail system and the cargo are not necessarily static across the board, the AEV will also need to be programmed not to one specific route or item, but consistent across a wide variety of tracks and cargoes.
