Performance Test 1

Team R was tasked with completing a Performance Test in order to verify that the team’s work was on track with the mission of the AEV. The AEV had to travel to the gate. wait 7 seconds, and then travel through the gate. This Performance Test 1 focuses on using the chosen vehicle design from two choices. The team tested two different design concepts in this performance test as part of the final R&D, with a slight differentiation in the propeller configuration for the AEV. The comparisons for the two designs can be found on the page below.

Design Concept Comparison

It was noted during performance test one that the timing had to be perfect for the power braking. The amount of power as well as when this power was initiated was the main concern. Additionally, the team was required to rearrange some of the wiring components in order to accommodate to the second propeller configuration.
