Monster Gator – SP23 Week 5

A picture from our site visit of the Monster Trucks in front of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL

This week we took a small break at the beginning of the week after spending all weekend working on the project at our site visit. Then we began planning for the next event in Jacksonville on February 25th, which included:

  • Reviewing test data results and potential issues and fixes
  • Planning further software development
  • Designing future hardware to mount on the truck
  • Researching methods to improve electrical connections

We also had some important conversations with Feld Entertainment about improving our computer hardware, as the Jacksonville event will be much more taxing on our system. They are providing us with an upgraded laptop to work with, as well as making plans for our on-site setup to be more conducive to our project’s design. This coming week we will continue to work on the various hardware and software components for the Jacksonville event with a focus on fixing things we discovered from the Tampa event and scaling up our system to full capacity.
