R 10.82<- Turning Radius

Design:

We designed our vehicle using only two wheels

for the cab section that connected to the trailer.
This made for a smaller, lighter, more agile
vehicle. This also reduced the complexity of our
turning radius. We found that our vehicle
needed no gearing to increase torque, that the
wheels had sufficient traction to tow the payload.

Reached
destination in
4 Minutes!

Sensors & Programming:

We had three front-mounted Infrared sensors that looked at the
painted roadway to determine left & right turns, as well as to drive
straight. We used ultrasonic sensors to detect proximity to objects in
the road, such as other vehicles. We also had touch sensors at the
front and sides of the vehicle to detect collision, and finally, a color
sensor, that helped us determine whether we were at a refueling
station or at our destination. We chose to stop at every refueling
station. As these stations are custom made for our trucks, they occur
infrequently enough that they do not slow our travel time
significantly, make programming easier, and allow station managers
to inspect traveling vehicles for safety and quality control.
