Description of the initiative
The activity will be organized as a real team competition. Each team can be made up of between 2 and 5 students. Each team (up to 10 teams) will be assigned a model of remote-controlled electric car with the ability to access motor control.Teams will be instructed on the possibilities of acting on the control.They will then be left free to work independently on the motor control with the aim of minimizing its consumption.The last meeting will be the actual race. Each team will be called upon to drive a circuit to their car. The team that travels the largest distance will be the winner.
Duration
dal March 2024 a May 2024
Calendar
da marzo 2024 a maggio 2024
Ogni martedì dalle 16 alle 19:30
(From March 2024 to May 2024, Every Tuesday from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM.)
Note
The students will implement their control strategies to minimize the power consumption of electric vehicles directly on radio-controlled vehicles.
Each team will be provided with a radio-controlled vehicle to test its own strategies. The effectiveness of the proposed strategies will be proven by a real endurance race performed with the vehicles.
