The mission of the AEV was to create a vehicle that is not only energy efficient but can complete the track in the class. The background is a story of vehicles being destroyed during the Star Wars era, leaving R2-D2 to be stranded. Energy is highly valued in times, so the team designed an Advanced Energy Vehicle that not only was energy efficient, but consistent in completing the course. The main objectives of the team were speed, consistency, energy, and balance. With these main objectives the team designed an AEV that completed the course and can be found with details on how it was done in the written reports/.
