Lab 8 – Performance Test 1
During lab, the team had to focus on completing two working codes to make the AEV complete the MCR. It is important for the team to develop a code that will work regardless of the track the AEV is on. It was assumed that the tracks in each room have small variances in them, so the team must be able to adapt to that. Making two working codes forced the team to approach their coding in different ways, thus furthering their skills and ability to code.
The team decided to modify the AEV design so the center of gravity ensured a better performance on the track. The design was also slightly modified to guarantee a level connection with the caboose for the return trip. The code still needs to be finalized.
