In this lab, we made further improvements on the difference in performances of the AEV. Optimization was our focus as we look to make adjustments on the decisions made to make the performance solid. The AEV’s energy consumption, build, and brake-system placement was improved to even make the slightest improvements on the AEV. As we look to implement the finalized code, the performance of the AEV on the track through multiple runs brought few changes to the coding used.
Takeaways
- General – There are various ways to achieve the highest efficiency of the AEV through coding
- Coding – The use of power decrement is proven to be more efficient
- Consistency- Reliable results is hard to obtain although tested multiple times
- Test – Many test runs should be made to get the predicted results
- Power – The manipulation of power percentages serves as a vital factor in AEV performance
