Meeting 22

Date: 25 – March – 2019                           

Time: 6:30-8:00

Members Present: Larenz Coles & Tara Maynard

Location: Hitchcock 308

Objective:

Edit the code to pass performance test 2

Topic Discussed: Extra Lab Time

  • The code for performance test 1 must be edited to use the brake instead of reversing propellers since the brake had not been implemented
  • Larenz used the guess and check method in order to accurately determine the stopping distance at the gate
  • Tara added a L-shaped bracket to the AEV to attach to the caboose
  • The team struggled to get the brake to stop without hitting the bracket
  • As time began to run out, Tara suggested just using the propellers at the caboose
  • The team successfully coded the AEV to lightly hit the caboose and attach

Reflections:

  • The team must prepare to change the code for the final performance test in order to use the brake at the end of the track
  • The reversal of propellers should work to pass performance test 2
