To help your team gather more information, review at least one of the web sites (or books) listed below. Then write a short memo (1 page max) that synthesizes the relevant information for the robot project (please list the web address on the memo). Keep reviewing web sites until you find useful information.

The audience of this memo is your teammates. In essence, they should be able to read this memo (instead of the website) and learn specific details related to robot design. The memos will be graded on clarity, completeness, and usefulness.
