Objective: Battery research.

Today the group conducted research on battery placement and discussed our options with cost and quality in mind. We concluded that the 10KW BLDC motor (HPM-10KW) was our best option because it was one of the few high-powered motors we could find which has 90% efficiency. Based on our remaining funds, the group decide that the field oriented controller (VEC500) is the best option. This concluded our work for the day.
