  4. Project Stages • Technology Review • User Needs Review • Functional Specification • Technical Design • Design Review • Prototype Development • Risk Assessment • Prototype Deployment

  5. Technology Review • Researched types of motors already on the market • Unsuccessful in finding a particular motor for our needs • Telephoned a company in Dublin called “Alperton” • Alperton design and build all kinds of motors • When the specification of the table is discussed, telephone Bill Gleeson from Alperton
