Hovercraft Presentation 1
  • Group 2
  • Presented By

2
Objectives
  • Build a working, autonomous hovercraft
  • Complete the course, even if it takes all the
    allotted time.
  • Maximize maneuverability of the hovercraft
  • Make the lightest and most cost efficient
    hovercraft possible

3
Our Subgroups
  • Programming Justin Coe, Kyle Dick
  • Skirt and Body Curtis Sharkey, Josh Balsam,
    Justin Hanacek
  • Propulsion Stefan Swan, Smita Patel, Anakizi
    Ackla

4
Programming
  • Assignments
  • To learn how to program the RCX using robolab
  • Determine optimal type and position of sensor on
    hovercraft
  • Create efficient algorithm
  • Coordinate the use of the sensors and fans to
    steer the hovercraft

5
Skirt and Body
  • Assignments
  • Design and build a durable and lightweight body
    and skirt
  • Find the best placement of parts
  • Use cost efficient materials
  • Create a leak free seal to the body of hovercraft

6
Lift and Propulsion
  • Assignments
  • Choose the adequate placement of fans
  • Find powerful yet efficient fans to propel the
    hovercraft
  • Find reversible fans
  • Determine the best methods to power the fans

7
Group Networking
  • Programming and Propulsion
  • Need to cooperate to combine programs controlling
    hovercraft with the methods we choose to propel
    it.
  • Skirt Body and Propulsion
  • Need to interact so we know where we can choose
    and place the different parts
  • All groups will collaborate and talk so everyone
    knows what is going on

8
Group Communication
  • E-mail
  • Instant Messaging/Chat Room
  • In Class
  • During Discussions
  • Weekly Meetings
  • Teléfono
