The picture above is the company’s current AEV design with the servo brake attached. The Servo is as motor that can be programmed to turn to certain degrees for a certain amount of time. We used a paper clip for an extension arm with an eraser on the end. The arm rotates to 75 degrees touching the AEV monorail track. This stops the AEV, then it rotates back to 0 degrees. This is a very important thing to look into for stoping consistently and being able to use it in multiple scenarios.
The two pictures above are of the servo motor attached to the AEV without it’s braking extension. Unfortunately, while testing the servo motor, it stopped working and our division had to do without it for now. There will be updates soon when the testing is finished, but as of now we are using a combination of coasting and power braking for the braking method.
