Context:

• There is a need for a quick control system that is much simpler than the full software system. For 2021, 2 control systems were made, one for the drivetrain and one for the arm.
• The Drivetrain system was designed to be wireless, and as such, uses a raspberry pi to interface between a base station and the motor controllers.
• The Arm system will be designed to be wired and based around an Arduino mega due to its simplicity
• Potential for future integration could be making a system with STM32 and making it more compatible with our current firmware solutions and/or robot controller
