DESIGN BRIEF
Client Company:
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
Inc.
Target
Consumer:
Factories, mines, and other places

where manufacturing occurs, and
materials need to be transported from
one part of the production sequence to
another.
Problem
Statement:
Many manufacturing plants use

methods of production (namely
assembly lines) that require parts to be
transported from one part of the process
to another. Hiring people to do so is
inefficient, so machines to move the
parts are necessary.
Design
Statement:
We must create a vehicle that is capable

of going back and forth in a loop,
starting with a button, and when it is
pressed again, it will stop after
completing its cycle and reverting to its
original position.
Constraints:
The vehicle must not cost an

unreasonable amount compared to
other products performing a similar
purpose. It must be stable, and it must
stop only after the button has been
pressed and the cycle has been
completed, reverting back to the
original starting position of the cycle.

AGV pseudo code

What does the pseudo code need to do?
-Travel back and forth -Closed loop control -Starts when button is pressed -Stop when
button is held -How ever it will not stop immediately
Void (Variation 1)
Void MovementLine
Task main
infinite loop
Type B
Infinite loop
when the button is pressed (UntilBump)
Motor runs forward
When optical encoder detects a certain number of motor rotations
motor reverses
If button is held
Motor completes a certain number of rotations

Then stops
