Test Plan #2 - Angular Velocity
Test Procedure:
In order to calculate our rover’s maximum angular velocity, we are going to run code that will turn one motor at max velocity forward and turn the other motor at max velocity backwards. We will run this code for exactly 30 seconds and we will count how many revolutions the car completes.
Statement of Associated Engineering Specification:
In mission #1 the rover needs to complete two laps around a square in two minute. Two laps around a circle equates to 720 degrees in two minutes.
Target Value:
Calculated Angular Speed of 18deg/s
Pass/Fail Criteria:
Test Outcome:
The test will be considered a fail if the rover can not rotate at a minimum speed of 18 deg/s
We passed this test by compleating 14.75 revolutions at max speed in 30 seconds. This gives a max angular velocity of 177 dergrees/sec
