The Electrical team is important to the F.R.B.C project, because they contribute to the device working correctly. They do calculations to see how effective the electrical parts & wired connections will work, to determine how safe and practical the device will execute its job. The Electrical Team have been doing this with the turn table, using a wooden prototype to see how it would function and to make it work.
Electrical is in charge of making sure the F.R.B.C Box has the ability and the current to power the UV-C Lights and the Turn-Table so it can disinfect everything on the boot without missing a spot. To do it the Electrical team had to do a lot of calculations for the stepper motor because the current stepper motor has a low torque (turning force). The needed is 50.4 N cm, but their goal is to get up to 70-100 N cm, by doing the turn table will clean the boots much faster and more efficiently.
Right now you might be wondering, what all of this is for and why they work as a team so they can learn the mechanics of electric engineering and to understand how energy & electricity help us in our everyday lives. One of the members Uba explains why he joined the electric team is for this reason explained, quote. "I joined this team to understand all components and features that go into wiring to expand its use later in life". Eduardo joined for, quote "I joined electrical to expand my knowledge of how electrical wiring works and how electrical flow works". The common theme from these statements is their desire to expand knowledge and how to expand it later in life, contributing to society in a meaningful way. More work needs to be done in order to complete this project so the Electrical team will keep giving it their all to help complete this project!
