EE192: Mechatronics Design Lab
Checkpoint 8
By this checkpoint, you should have a rough version of the entire project done. Your car should be able to follow a track, which will be set up in a figure-8 shape and following NATCAR specifications (single line in the center of the track - note that this is different that the Freescale Cup track). Your control loop should be stable enough to not lose the track or be confused by the self-crossing track.
The figure-8 track specifications are follows:
1 meter radius on each circular lobe
60 degree linear crossing in the center, line segment beginning tangential to the circle
White tape on dark carpet
Checkoff Procedure
Your car will be dropped from a 1-foot height, simulating a crash. Nothing should break loose, and the car should continue to function.
After being dropped, the car should acquire the figure-8 track and run three consecutive full laps. You may use a wireless command to tell the car to start or stop running, but no other commands may be sent to the car.
There is no speed requirement.
