Week 5

This week's accomplishments:

- An extra low-speed motor was acquired, to move the center pipe which allows the SeaPerch to steer.

The new motor. It spins very slowly, largely because it is geared down so much.

- This motor has now been assembled and tested.
- A belt system has been designed to allow the motor to actually turn the center pipe.
- Continued working on Solidworks model. The new low-speed motor was mounted, as displayed in figure 3. This motor will drive the center pole through a belt.

Figure 3. Updated Solidworks model.

 Next week's goals: Finalize electrical systems, get a few more parts fabricated.
