Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Test solenoid and motor.
Test accuracy of x y motion guide.
During test, resistor on breadboard; Before delivery, cut the wire and put in resistor and wrap up with heat shrink.
Encoder and motor should remain separate. Otherwise, the high current could go to the board.
