Team Status Report (05-04)

Risks

  • Rev. 2 assembly has fallen behind due to other more critical tasks for driving the car and testing the existing system
    • Assembly may occur tomorrow (05-05), but non-critical as the existing revisions work perfectly fine
  • Ground control UI remains unintegrated, and likely will not be ready in time for public demo
    • On the other hand, PCAN’s plotting and tracĀ  ing functionality proved to be quite useful, and pretty much feature-complete in terms of data visualization
  • Even with the larger PittRace area, we were unable to test at the full desired range of ~600 m (max. tested ~230 m)
    • Nevertheless, we remain confident that Wi-Fi is feasible from the competition stands, given sufficient line-of-sight (achievable by mounting the directional dish to a tripod, and placing it on the roof of e.g. a vehicle)
