Project Objectives
Concisely list and prioritize the project objectives and constraints
High Priority Objectives
Mobility: traverse a multitude of terrain, and climb a 45 degree grade.
Robustness: be reliable in harsh environments and weather conditions
Versatility:this is a test vehicle, so it should be easily modified, maintained, or serviced
Load: carry a payload of 100+ lb.
Second Priority Objectives
Speed: travel at least 3mph cruising speed
Cost: ~$5000 or less
Modification Weight: keep "track kit" weight to a minimum (<50lb.)
Other Constraints and Issues
Driving/Controlling/Testing the robot and making it wireless.
WOW Design Solution
Something that operates like the Dual Tracked Vehicle (DTV) but is electrically powered.
Risk Reduction Strategy
List areas of risk and strategy that will be used to eliminate risk really in the design process.
Intermediate Milestones
Identifying meaningful intermediate milestones is a critical for effective project management. Together with your sponsor identify such milestones, and specify specific performance requirements you aim to meet at each milestone.
