Motors

Servo motors- these allow for movement in precise angles they operate from 4.8- 6 volts they move at a 180. Closed loop (180), open loop(360). Higher voltage = higher torque

DC Motor- The allow continuous 360 motion

Analog vs Digital

Analog signals are continuous and have a range of value, they vary smoothly overtime.

Digital signals are discrete signal that has only two possible states “ON & OFF” it represents information using binary digits

IF , ELSE logic

Fundamental programming construct used in decision making. it allows you to execute different sets of

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension, and arranged in such a way that the compressed members do not touch each other while the pretressed tensioned
