PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Team 28’s project “Robotic Explorer for Hypothesized Surfaces”, the group plans
to research, design, and build a solution to allow movement on the Psyche Asteroid.
Specifically, to achieve this, the group designed and tested a wireless motor control
on a printed circuit board (PCB).
