Our Approach

For our AEV Project we realized we needed a few key components to make a functional vehicle. We decided we are going to use two wheels in hopes to make one wheel a forward direction wheel and the other a backward direction wheel so we can control the direction of the vehicle with ease. We also decided to add a propeller to the vehicle to give our vehicle a slight boost so it can climb the inclines on the track. In order to determine distance that the vehicle needs to travel, we will be using the reflection sensor to determine how many times the wheel turns to get control of the distance the vehicle will travel. Also, after the vehicle travels the distance we need, we will activate some sort of breaking mechanism to stop the vehicle from moving. The last basic thing we figured we would need is a simple way to keep the battery secure so that it does not fall off the vehicle during movement.
