Sales Pitch

 The Goal of Team O was to create an AEV that would safely move people back in forth. Energy efficiency,  time, costs, consistency, and safety were the main goals of the AEV. The main focus of Group O’s AEV was creating a design that would use the motor to directly power the wheel instead of using the propellers. The main goal of this was to try to make the AEV more efficient and more consistent. It overall cut down on energy costs because it only used one motor.
The AEV was also consistent once some changes to the layout were made. It made it through the first gate and connected to the caboose consistently which made it possible to spend some time making slight changes to the code which made the AEV more energy and time efficient. The AEV was also small which helped it not run into anything making it more consistent and much safer.
Group O’s AEV for the final performance test only used 107.961 joules of energy. Which calculated into a total energy cost of $178,500. The AEV completed the test in 43 seconds which gave it a time costs of $154,000. That combined with the $132,440 for capital costs the final cost for the AEV ended under-budget, costing only a total of $465,439.
