The Mission:
Performance Test 2 is the second of three rounds of tests. The goal of this round of tests was to check if our AEV could make it to the gate, trigger the sensor, wait 7 seconds, then go to the end of the track and connect to the load. The AEV had to make it to the end of the track without crashing into anything, the connection to the load must be smooth as well.
Obstacles:
The second performance test was the first performance test with the 3D printed “Bullet Bil” under the AEV. It took many tests between different code configurations to be able to complete this performance test. Adding the 3D printed piece did not make it the AEV much heavier, it just took some time change the code to work with the new addition.
After changing the code multiple times, the AEV was able to complete this performance test.
Results:
The AEV made it to the gate, waited 7 seconds, then connected to the load at the end of the rail. (all three runs went well).
Code:
