The objective of performance test one was for the team of engineers to successfully code the advanced energy vehicle so that it will travel from the starting position on the track to the top of the hill and stop between two, making sure to trigger the first one but not trigger the second one, and then wait 7 seconds for the gate to open before proceeding forward past the gate. Once the aev has proceeded through the gate, the team will need to have the aev travel to the end of the track where a caboose is located. They will then hook the caboose to the aev via a magnet that the team added on to the design for this performance test and the ones following after this one. Once the hook to the aev to the caboose they will wait five seconds and then proceed out of the loading zone, which is where the caboose was located, to finish the test.
For this run, the team was able to finish this test to the best that they could in the time allotted for the test. There were some issues before the team was able to finish this test, and it took most of the time to allotted to complete this the team was not able to extract the data form this run as well or complete any runs for another design. However, even though the team was able to complete the performance test with full marks, there was a penalty given to the team, because one of the other teams on the company did not finish their performance test completely.
Here are some codes that were used in this performance test.
