+### Goals
+
+* Standardize peak torque data relative to power (servos are typically giving peak torques when subject to many amps of current)
+* Add real time temperature data to get an idea of sustainability of above ^
+* Better understand tradeoffs between DC motors (hobby servos) - Steppers - BLDCs (both with and without reduction)
+* Inform design/selection of future actuator use cases
