AEV Introduction Scenario 1

celerate(1,0,15,2.5); // Accelerate motor one from start to 15% power in 2.5 seconds. 
goFor(1); // Run motor one at a constant speed (15% power) for 1 second. 
brake(1); // Brake motor one. 
celerate(2,0,27,4); // Accelerate motor two from start to 27% power in 4 seconds. 
goFor(2.7); // Run motor two at a constant speed (27% power) for 2.7 seconds. 
celerate(2,27,15,1); // Decelerate motor two to 15% power in 1 second.

Initial AEV Assembly

Time: 

2:20 pm (Face-to-Face)

 

Members Present:

Blake Kanoy, Ashwin Rajgopal, Alex Beutel, & Daniel Fahmi

 

Objective:

The main focus of this meeting was to complete the assembly of the AEV and begin testing the sensors and some basic code that would make the robot move.

 

To do/Action Items:

-Complete Assembly of AEV

-Write basic code to move around the track

 

Decisions:

-The team decided to place the motors as far back as possible on the AEV on ‘wing-like’ extensions

 

Reflections:

-Did not spend enough time on the progress report and while working on it we felt rushed and unorganized

-Need to be more disciplined with arranging meetings and being productive during meetings
