Time: 9:10-10:05
Members Present: Larenz Coles, Brittany Shine, Allan Thomas, & Tara Maynard
Location: Hitchcock 308
Objective:
Pass the first run of the final performance test.
Topics Discussed: Lab 20
- The AEV began to run short of the caboose with the new battery
- The team had to use guess and check several times to ensure it would not fall short
- Larenz started by increasing the power of the burst to try to reach the caboose
- The AEV began hitting the caboose too hard
- The team began testing the AEV several times before changing the code to account for possible flukes
- After guessing and checking many times, the AEV gently hit the caboose to pick it up
- The team finished the first performance test, missing points for hitting the end of the loading dock and bouncing back
To Do/Action Items:
- Figure out how to ensure that the AEV can slow enough to not hit the end of the dock
Reflections:
- The power must be adjusted to ensure that the AEV can slow enough to use a gentle burst function to get into the loading dock without going to far
- The power will be decreased earlier while also bringing the brake up earlier to slow the AEV
