# Testing

## Testing rig

We have used the drop-off enclosure with flat steel plates for testing. Additional holder was assembled to support the weights. Several steel and aluminium weights were used for gradually applying load during testing.

## Results

We have preformed two tests to determine and validate the strength of the drop-off mechanism. In both tests the mechanism broke when subjected to load of approx. 300 N (31,9 kg of weights including the holder).

{% hint style="info" %}
Additional impact tests and fatigue tests have to be performed to fully validate the strength of the drop-off mechanism.
