Background
After destruction of the Death Star, the galactic empire is rebuilding their army. To make sure the galactic empire in unaware of any activity going on, the rebel alliance must prepare for war on remote planets, where power is limited. The rebel alliance is searching for an energy efficient monorail system, since power is so limited, to transport the constructed R2D2 units from one side of the land to where the interceptor aircrafts are being assembled.
Mission Objectives
Since the AEV mission takes place on a far away planet with limited amounts of energy, the AEVs will focus on energy management, operational efficiency and operational consistency. The goal is to successfully pick up cargo and transport it back to the start while working around all design constrains and obstacles in the track while minimizing the energy to mass ratio. The AEV code should not depend on the specific track it is being run on, due to inconsistencies on the surface of the planet. The AEV should still run the same regardless of the type of cargo collected. The team should focus on all these objectives while designing the AEV, since the final product must be presented to the rebel alliance.
