Test 4: Final

  • For the Final Performance Test our team was given three opportunities to run our finalized AEV for graded performances. Out of the three runs only the top two performances would be graded. All of the research and development would converge upon the three runs below labeled Runs A, B, and C. The same codes was used for all three graded performances, please reference the “Arduino Codes” tab for detail on the code used.

Results and Costs:

_________________________________________________________________

  • Below is a graph showing the results for all three runs.
    • As expected the three runs all completed the MCR, with a slight error on run B shown by the orange line not tripping the gate properly on the route back with the connected caboose.

  • After completing the three runs data was collected and inserted into a cost efficiency chart below.
  • In the final chart the total costs associated with the Final Performance Test are highlighted clearly below.
