This project is very important for the industry, because the product we are building is a low-energy consumption and very polite to the environment. The crane can be controlled with a manual interface in the computer but also it has the ability to be controlled using a remote control.
This project is going to be very effective because there are not to many low-energy consumption cranes out there, so, is going to reduce the energy consumption but the power efficiency will be the same or even better.
The main problem of this project are what kind of materials we need to use, the materials used has to be of a good quality, strong but at the same time not so heavy so the crane can be in a very good valance, then we think of using 180° servo-motors but we have to “trick” the motors so they can spin 360° instead of 180°.
To make all the interface we are going to use C++ Builder and “Arduino” to program the servo-motors.
