Completed Testing

The overall device and functionality has been tested using the following tests: static stability, propulsion force measurement accuracy, gravitational force accuracy, added weight, added width, emergency stop functionality, ability to go backwards and forwards, and ability to steer. The procedure, required equipment, safety, and results of the tests are described below. These tests conducted cover many of the different specifications described above. The static stability test is for Specification G5 (ISO 7176-1), and it will also encompass Specification P12. The propulsion force measurement accuracy test is for Specification ES2. Added weight, added width, E-stop, ability to go backwards, and ability to steer tests Specification G2, G4, E4, P10, P11 respectively. Additional information provided below pertains to the different testing apparatus that was built by the team to conduct different tests and general safety considerations.
