Date: 11 – April – 2019
Time: 9:10-10:05
Members Present: Larenz Coles, Brittany Shine, Allan Thomas, & Tara Maynard
Location: Hitchcock 308
Objective:
Pass the last two runs of the final performance test.
Topics Discussed: Lab 21
- The team had to adjust the code to ensure that the AEV would not bounce back at the end of the loading dock
- Larenz changed the code to decrease the power and bring up the brake sooner
- The AEV slowed enough to come to a stop after the burst without hitting the end of the track
- The team successfully passed the last two final performance tests without losing points
To Do/Action Items:
- Prepare for the final oral presentation (All – April 18)
- Finish the final draft of the CDR (All – April 16)
Reflections:
- The physical brake was sufficient in decreasing the power while also effectively stopping the AEV at the gates and loading docks
- The time on the track was decreased by stopping the AEV more efficiently
- Time was added by the fact that the speed had to be slowed for the brake to work efficiently
