Week 2/14

Upon looking at the switching mechanism of the bogie, i thought about utilizing a motor i had already had. The actuator i have is a 12v door actuator that is using in car door locks. So instead of purchasing a new motor to turn the switching mechanism, i want to implement using linear 12v door actuators. They have not polarity therefore with an opposite charge it can go the opposite direction. Initially, the idea was to use another pulley and belt method to turn the wheels.
