CP's first group project for his freshman electrical engineering project is to make a vehicle that drives across the room using servos, not motors. A servo is like a motor, but instead of going round and round, it can only turn ±90°. They are using an Arduino microcontroller to tell the servos how to move so that they are synchronized with the crankshaft. One of the kids designed and modeled the chassis and crankshaft and then they 3D printed them in the lab at school. Pretty impressive!! I wish I could get my engineers at work to take this class.
