Today, we delivered the first out of three Senior Project Presentations. The objective of our presentation was to discuss our team goals as well as our refined, conclusive design specifications. Although we stated, in our Presentation #1, that I would oversee the software side of the small-scale model and David would be in charge of the hardware, our duties will more than likely overlap with each other due to the interdependent nature of controls and mechatronics systems. In other words, a circuit and a controller are meaningless without the hardware, and the hardware, such as actuators, cannot be controlled without a programmed controller and driver. And, once again, our duties will also overlap with Small-Scale Bogie and Small-Scale Track, with more interaction with the Bogie team due to the bogie-motor connection. Having said this, at the conclusion of our presentation, we received some feedback from Dr. Furman. He brought to our attention brushless gimbal motors, as i
