This week we are excited to solidify the design for our product. Gate review 3 is just around the corner, and we need to select a motor and transmission so that we can move forward. This is the part of the design process that everyone has been looking forward to as engineers, and hopefully we will be able put this enthusiasm to good use.
Last week, we got some good input from Dr Luntz about modeling our power system, and our preliminary findings show we will definitely be able to find a motor that fits our needs. While we are still looking to reduce size and weight, there is a motor available that is only 10mm in thickness and can handle twice the power that we need. We are still looking for other smaller versions, but this first one would be suitable and can make our design possible.
