Likely going to switch the rudder odrive for a servo and keep an odrive for the sail (if mech team decides to keep the spool design).
According to this equation equation we'd need ~20-30 kg/cm of torque for our rudder.
Currently we use a Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 which has 18 kg/cm of torque according to a spreadsheet that tom did (dunno how accurate)
TODO:
Find a new rudder servo we can buy
20+ kg/cm
180+ deg range
<0.5s for full 180
Ideally waterproof
Consult mech team on what they want to fit the shaft
Find a new sail servo/motor we can buy
Consult mech team to see if they plan to do a spool, pully or some other mechanism for pulling in the sail
Figure out torque requirements, (our current 1.8 Nm motor works great with our spool and sail)
Choose between either a DC motor + encoder or a winch servo
With our current spool it takes ~4 motor rotations to fully bring in the sail. Sail winches can do ~3.5, but making a bigger spool means less rotations are necessary.
If choosing a DC motor + encoder, figure out whether we really need an odrive encoder or if we can get away with the cheap encoders embedded into the motor itself
