Motors
Stan and Micah got together and went to Jack's Used Auto Parts in Billerica. This time around we had more help from an experienced mechanic and a much wider pool of cars to get parts from. From what we figured out, the kind of lock actuator motor we are looking for will be in an older model of truck, probably a Ford or Chevy.

After looking around for a couple of hours, we found an '88 Chevy Blazer with intact doors and mechanisms to match. A brief check on the locks found that they had the motors we were looking for and would have to be pried out of the riveted doors. Once they were out, the motors were still attached to their mounts which will definitely help later when building the final product.
This was the last part we needed, our project is now ready for assembly.

-Micah will take one motor home to start working on code for it.
-Stan will take the other motor to build a housing for it.
