3. TM 3 Racers need to have acumen and accuracy. Forethought, creativity and a bit of skillfulness is needed here! Introduction ► University student competition based on slot car racing ► The Goals are: To develop the best control algorithm that will drive the slot car on an unknown track without student interfacing. To achieve the best time for 10+10 laps without dropping out of the track. ► The Objective is: Map the track shape during the first lap and use it to achieve a maximum speed in the following laps. ► How can the car map the track? Accelerometer measures centrifugal forces. ► With the support provided by Freescale and Carrera, it's easy to go for it! Populate the provided PCB Build it into the provided slot car Create the slot car intelligence (development tools provided) Test it on the provided track

14. TM 14 Competition Rules – Main Race ► Racing Rules All contestants place their cars into pits before the race. Each contestant races separately against time. The contestant called on takes his car from the pit and place it anywhere on the track. The time measurement is started on the first pass through the time counter and stopped after 10 laps. If the car drops out of the track the contestant can be put it back, to a position clearly before the drop-out point. Only one person of a team can do this. After the ride, the contestant places the car back to the pit and keeps away from pits. There are two race rounds and the sum of both race times will determine the final result. The slot car is placed to the right line of the track for the first round and to the left line for the 2 nd round. The starting order is random for the first round and a reverse order to the intermediate results is used for the second round. ► Track Properties The race track is unknown to the contestants until the race. The track can consist only from the following set of Carrera Evolution pieces (all or a subset):  15 straights  1 connecting section  2 1/4 straights  2 1/3 straights The track is powered by the original power supply 14.8V, 2x350mA (Carrera ID: 26724) The track does not include shoulders or guardrails ► Slot Car Properties The slot car Carrera Evolution Audi R8 original chassis, body, guide blade, motor and tires must be used. The traction magnets must be removed, no traction magnet is allowed. The slot car can be equipped by additional electronics, but only inside the body. The slot car weight is limited by a maximum of 125g. No remote control of the car is allowed. Only one switch allowing to choose between two modes of operation is allowed on the slot car.  2 line changes  13 curves 1/60  2 curves 1/30  6 curves 2/30
