The Advanced Energy Vehicle lab is a lab designed to strengthen the ideas learned in Engineering 1181. The main task for this lab was to design, build, test, and optimize a vehicle that will run a course on a track while safely carrying passengers in a cart. The AEV is to make set stops for certain amounts of time before dropping passengers off and returning to the Grand Central Station. In order for this lab to be successful, teams had to optimize their vehicle to be as energy-efficient as possible.
