Solution Manual Chapter 27: Design Step 7.
Performance Evaluation
1. What metrics are normally used to predict the performance of your entry in a head–to-head
competition?
2. What additional metrics beyond those listed for exercise 1 would you use to predict your
design’s performance in a head–to–head RC model boat competition?
3. How would you measure the pushing force of your entry in a head-to-head competition?
4. If you had designed and constructed an entry in a head-to-head RC walking robot competition,
what performance tests would you carry out before the competition?
5. You are to design and construct a small autonomous vehicle that will seek out a lit candle and
blow it out. What performance tests would you implement before the competition?
