Targets
Be able to climb up a 20-degree sand slope
Be able to traverse flat ground at an average speed of 2 m/s at least
...
Top speed of 1.3 m/s
Assuming 10% efficiency loss per stage applied to the motor running at 80% efficiency (which is its efficiency when operating at the rated speed)
Capable of climbing up 19-degree grass hills without treads
Capable of climbing up to 11-degree sandhills without treads
Acceleration of aluminum build:
Acceleration of carbon-fiber build:
Test Plan Overview
Speed testing with the aluminum build will be an estimate, since the mass of the rover will be significantly heavier than the carbon fibre version
