This document outlines the roles and goals of the Albegas team which is designing a solar-powered vehicle. The team members include Isabella Rivera Posada as Manager, Juan Rivera as Secretary, and Ana Sofía Valencia and Juan Esteban Toro as Communications. Kevin Varón and Santiago Torres are in charge of Logistics. The main goal is to design a vehicle that can move as fast as possible from point A to B overcoming obstacles like roughness, slopes and shadows. Specific goals include determining the best transmission system, mass distribution, and number of engines.

2. Problem:
Crossing the obstacles of the
Circuito Solar EPM 2016 race:
roughness, slope and shadow.
Main goal
Research question:
How to determine the most
appropriate type of wheels,
transmition system (pulley,
chain, gear, etc), capture and
storage of energy, number of
engines, traction and mass
distribution for vehicle powered
by photovoltaic solar energy
able to move in a straight line as
fast as possible, from point A to
point B, crossing
different obstacles (roughness,
slope and shadow).
To design and build a vehicle
powered by photovoltaic solar
energy able to move in a
straight line as fast as possible,
from point A to point B,
crossing different obstacles
(roughness, slope and shadow)
through the evaluation of
different variables (traction,
wheels, mass distribution,
numbers of motors,
transmission system, capture
and storage of energy) on a
base prototype.
Specific goals:
-To determine the most appropiate
transmition system (pulley, chain,
gear, etc) to build a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic
solar energy able to move in a
straight line as fast as possible,
from point A to point B, crossing
different obstacles (roughness,
elevations and shadow).
-To determine the most appropriate
mass distribution to build a vehicle
powered by photovoltaic solar
energy able to move in a straight
line as fast as possible, from point
A to point B, crossing different
obstacles (roughness, slope and
shadow).
-To determine the most appropriate
number of engines to build a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic
solar energy able to move in a
straight line as fast as possible,
from point A to point B, crossing
different obstacles (roughness,
slope and shadow).
