This fifth part of the OwlBot project will involve setting up its ability to perform mechanical movements. We will be using a pair of solenoids to move wings we’ll design and make later in the build process, and a DC motor that will have a propeller attached to its shaft, which we’ll use as an extra form of movement on our rigid plastic owl that we’re using for the body of the OwlBot.
