Analysis for where modules can be reused between Vulcan systems. A part that can serve many purposes makes a case for a higher investment.
Motors
Brushed
The purist in me doesn't like this idea, but the reality is they're cheap and fairly powerful and require much less complex drivers. The major drawback is the brushes wear out, but the target audience consists of the best candidates to fix such an isue
Brushless
A module that combines a brushless motor and driver will be extremely valuable in many places. If this is feasible, it will probably be worth including several of them in the final design.
Something in the range of 150KV.
However this also goes back to building the motors.
Induction
A 2.25 HP motor will use 15A@110V.
Control
Linear
Probably built off either the brushed or brushless motor, a standard linear drive will integrate into many cnc systems. It can also be helpful in systems that are not fully automated, for instance, positioning a stop on a miter saw.
