The Electronics and Controls Team is responsible for the design of a levitation system for the vehicle. This team must study the placement of modular LSRM's on the undercarriage of the pod and how they interact with each other. This team will also compute the cost of the modular levitation subsystem and identification of the vendors for the final product development.

  • Design the levitation system using the design from the LSRM team
  • Work very closely with the LSRM team to learn how the LSRM works
  • Design placement of modular LSRMs along the undercarriage of the pod to ensure levitation under all possible conditions
  • Deal with unbalanced loads as well as adverse weather conditions
