  5. Alt. Power Block Explained • Larger Battery: Several aspects of this battery were very nice; it had a large capacity, large output current, and AC charging. I ultimately decided, though, that the change in cost ~$50 wasn’t worth the unneeded difference. • Voltage Dividers: Using resistive voltage dividers to step down the voltage (5 to 3.3 and 27 to 24 & 12) dissipated power unnecessarily, even though it would have been simpler. Regulators do a better job of stepping down voltage. • Using the step-up booster allowed us to run everything off of the single 5V supply, eliminating the need to use the 9V batteries. This also simplifies recharging and maintenance.

  8. Alt. Lock Block Explained • I could have used a 1.5-3.0 V hobby motor instead of the maglock. The benefit would have been the lower voltage requirement, but I would have had to construct a locking mechanism from scratch for the gear on the motor to control. The code for implementing the motor-controlled lock would also have been far more complicated than simply turning a transistor on and off.
