OSV Performance
● First run was not successful due to problems with the wiring.
● On second run, OSV was able to successfully move with constant speed and
power, turn, and navigate towards fire site while avoiding obstacles.
● OSV was able to successfully align with the mission site, accurately measure and
transmit the number of active flames, and lower the arm with the fire blanket to
extinguish all flames except the middle one.
● Wheels at times would get stuck in the sand, so slight assistance was needed to
come out.
Lessons Learned
● Learned the importance of planning ahead and developing a cohesive plan.
Although we were on track at first, because we didn’t have a solid schedule for day
to day plans, we had trouble with timing which cost us points.
● There were many challenges we had to overcome to get our OSV to work.
Although it was frustrating we learned that every challenge comes with many trials
and errors - it’s part of the process.
● It’s good to have some basic understanding of programming, mechanics, and/or
CAD to further help the team when needed.
● Communication and a strong team chemistry is essential for success.
