Students demonstrate basic understanding and safe use of measurement tools.

● Identify common meters and measurement tools (digital multimeter, clamp meter, voltage tester).

● Understand basic electrical quantities: voltage, current, resistance, continuity.

● Demonstrate safe handling of meters (proper leads, voltage rating, avoiding shorts).

● Measure battery voltage and confirm polarity.

● Measure simple circuit continuity.

● Observe and interpret basic readings from meters.

● Demonstrate correct use of measurement units (V, A, Ω).

Students can perform independent measurements, analysis, and troubleshooting.

● Measure current draw of motors or subsystems using a multimeter or clamp meter.

● Measure voltage drops across components and wiring.

● Measure resistance and verify component values (resistors, fuses).

● Troubleshoot electrical issues using measured values (open circuits, shorts, brownouts).

● Pass the Black box measurement test

● Select the correct meter range and settings for different tasks.

● Mentor another student on proper meter use and safety.

Students lead measurement and diagnostic efforts for the team.

● Supervise meter usage for troubleshooting and subsystem verification.

● Develop team procedures or checklists for measurement of electrical systems.

● Train team members on advanced measurement techniques (current profiling, voltage sag under load, continuity checks in complex wiring).

● Lead pre-competition checks using meters to ensure all batteries, motors, and CAN devices are operating correctly.

● Analyze measurement data to recommend component replacements or system optimizations.

● Integrate measurements into team documentation for future troubleshooting and build planning.

● Demonstrate use of advanced diagnostic tools, such as oscilloscopes, for complex signals (optional for expert-level students).
