Meeting Notes for Team Meeting #9
Date: February 8, 2018
Start time: 11:10am
End time: 12:30pm
Members Present: Jayson, Patrick, Tyler, Bahjat
Location: HI-224
Topics Discussed:
The team decided to work on Motor Quantity and Motor Configurations.
For motor quantity, the team tested different number of motors (1 or 2 motors) installed on the AEV.
Power vs. Time and Power vs. Distance plots where generated based on the different number of motors installed.
Each motor setting was tested 5 different times with the same code.
The team decided on the optimal number of motors, which was 2 motors.
Reflection: Today was a very productive day for our group. The group was successfully able to figure out the optimal number o motors, and the best motor configuration (position).

Meeting Notes for Team Meeting #12
Date: February 22, 2018
Start time: 11:10am
End time: 12:30pm
Members Present: Jayson, Patrick, Tyler, Bahjat
Location: HI-224
Topics Discussed:
The team decided to work on Motor Quantity and Motor Configurations.
For motor quantity, the team tested 2 motors installed on the AEV.
Power vs. Time and Power vs. Distance plots where generated based on the different number of motors installed. 5 tests were performed for each motor quantity.
For motor configuration, the team tested different motor positions on the AEV while 2 motors are installed.
First configuration included 2 motor installed on the back side of the AEV, while the second configuration included 2 motors, one positioned upfront and one on the back of the AEV.
Each motor setting was tested 5 different times with the same code.
Power vs. Time and Power vs. Distance plots where generated based on the different configurations tested.
The team decided on the optimal number of motors, which was 2 motors. The optimum configuration was 2 motors installed on the back.
Reflection: Today was a very productive day for our group. The group was successfully able to complete testing both motor quantity and motor configuration, all necessary Power vs. Time and Power vs. Distance plots were graphed and advanced R&D is done.
Meeting Notes for Team Meeting #13

End time: 6:00pm
Members Present: Jayson, Patrick, Tyler, Bahjat
Location: CBEC-220
Topics Discussed:
The group worked on preparing the PowerPoint presentation for to present on Thursday. AR&D Plots were successfully uploaded to the presentation. Roles were distributed evenly among the group members. The group practiced the presentation a few times, made sure that figures and plots are correct. In addition to that, the group updated the website with the necessary AR&D graphs for motor configuration and motor amount.
Reflection: Today was a very productive day for our group. The group was successfully able to complete the presentation and practice their roles. Update the website successfully.
