1. One of the mayor problems that we could face in this challenge could be weather related, like if we are using solar power combine with battery power, another problem that may arise is terrain related like a wind storm, or a rain storm, how can we protect this vehicle from being damage
2. You have to a least be at 17.5 miles an hour.
3. What is the fallacy of considering the above average speed-what do you need to considerer? Is base in a trip without any sudden surprises or problems? On the other hand we could reduce the speed to compensate for time lost in case any problems should appear, for example. A broken wheel, a damaged solar panel, a damage battery cell, weather changes, or uplink with the satellite signal is lost, or road obstacles.
4. What strategies you can use to avoid obstacle? We can use the help of a satellite link GPS system, infrared sensors, or wire sensor that can detect obstacles ahead of the main frame of the vehicle.
5. What are some disadvantages of the route information you receive, in terms of the vehicle driving the route? The size of the robot should be how tall or wide to fit inside the tunnel, what kind of wheels are a better fit for the terrain, what kind of lights and sensors should be fitted into this vehicle, and what kind of batteries are need it to compensate for the lack of sun light inside the tunnel, or if the day is cloudy.
6. What strategies can you use to prepare your vehicle for the route once you receive the information? We need to have tested the vehicle with equipment that is light to save energy, batteries cells that can last the trip a little bit longer than the 10 hours, and making sure some of the sensor will work properly for when the GPS uplink gets to be lost inside the tunnel, or because of weather related problems.
7. MTBCF stands for mean time between catastrophic failures. What kind of failure do u anticipate in the testing phase? What can go wrong? Batteries died, a wheel comes
