From ccoleman at MIT.EDU Mon Apr 26 14:02:01 2004 From: ccoleman at MIT.EDU (Charles P Coleman) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 14:02:01 -0400 Subject: [Unified-mailman] Col Young's Summary of '04 Unified Aerial Competition rules !OJO! Message-ID: Students- Please take head to Col Young's summary below! Charles -----Original Message----- From: pwyoung at ix.netcom.com [mailto:pwyoung at ix.netcom.com] Subject: Summary of '04 Unified Aerial Competition rules Unified Aerial Competition '04 competition summary. 1. Schedule. Thursday 29 May, 3-5pm and Friday 11-3pm are the two available Johnson dates. We suggest taking the first slot as it'll most likely be less crowded and there will be less demand for timers, batteries, etc. If your team turns in reasonable scores on the first day, they may be allowed to fly on the second day but only as lower priority to other teams flying for their official scores. 2. Eggs will be provided by the contest management. In a change this year, teams will be issued eggs as soon as their team airplane starts takeoff for the unloaded flight segment. Ground teams will then have to do whatever is necessary to upload the egg cargo at the conclusion of the unloaded flight segment in minimum time. 3. Motor batteries will be provided and charged by contest management. The only legal ones to use are the 8 cell 350 mah packs. As we will be peaking the batteries just before flight, please turn in all batteries for overnight charging and peaking. There's no advantage to retaining batteries for yourself. 4. Unloaded flight segment, turn markers, etc. Two turn pylons will be set up at opposite ends of Johnson. For the unloaded flight segment, the airplane has to clearly go beyond and turn around the pylons during its two laps. If the plane turns too soon (and this is easily observed) the team can call an attempt and try again later - continuing on isn't required. 5. Flight start and timing. Timing starts for the unloaded flight upon first motion of the airplane, not at takeoff point. The planes must rise-off-ground on motor power alone, i.e. handlauncheds or any kind of auxiliary propulsion/assistance is not allowed. Teams can position their planes anywhere they choose on the course, and that initial point is the start-finish line for their two laps. Once the plane crosses that line the second time, and assuming it has completed two pylon turns successfully, time stops and is recorded. 6. Pit crew time, start of endurance flight segment. Official time is not running after the plane has crossed the start-finish line to conclude the unloaded flight - so there is no reason to rush to the airplane. Pit crew time starts when the pit crew touches the airplane to start uploading egg cargo. Pit crew time stops when the plane starts "first motion" for its endurance flight takeoff. Pit crew time is straight seconds, i.e. there's no weighting factor for # of eggs. 7. Endurance flight time starts upon "first motion" towards takeoff. The plane is not constrained to flying around pylons during the endurance flight. Time stops when the plane lands or strikes a physical obstruction and ceases flying (walls, roof girders, etc.). Good luck! And if any questions, please communicate with Profs Coleman and Drela, Carl, Howie, or myself.

Please sign your team up for ONE time slot, and please try to arrive at least 15 minutes early for that time (the 11 am time on Friday excluded). Make sure to sign up by Wednesday evening. Please note that the Friday competition time slots will be filmed for Open Course Ware. Therefore, we request that as many of you fly on Friday as possible. If you have any objections to being filmed, please let Prof. Coleman or me or Carl know, and we will make sure that you are not filmed. Good luck, -Howie From ccoleman at MIT.EDU Mon Apr 26 14:19:14 2004 From: ccoleman at MIT.EDU (Charles P Coleman) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 14:19:14 -0400 Subject: [Unified-mailman] FW: OpenCourseWare to film Unified Aerial Competition! Release form needed if you wish to participate. Message-ID: Students- OpenCourseWare (http://ocw.mit.edu) has asked to film this year's competition as a sample MIT lecture to present to the world via its web site! Participation in filming is ENTIRELY optional. However, if you would like to be filmed and interviewed and have the chance to have your 15 minutes of fame streamed across the world by way of the web, please fill in the course number, course name, and your address on the attached PDF Release Form. Then sign the form and return it to one of the GTAs. (No witness signature is needed) IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE FILMED: 1. Please send me an e-mail so that I am aware and can keep an eye out on you and the camera on Friday. 2. If possible, please schedule your team to complete the competition on Thursday 29 April 2004 between 3p-5p. See you all later this week!

Electric motors encountering a physical load will demand more power from the battery, i.e. the motors will apply more torque rather than less. The propellers are very sharp and can easily cut flesh. In the instances cited, one student suffered minor cuts and in the other, several stitches were required to close a severe gash. The lesson here: be very careful around these battery powered devices any time power is applied, and when checking out the controls, remove propellers before applying power. Col Young -- Peter W.
