*During week 2, it became evident that the motor either lacked sufficient torque or wasn't receiving enough power for the torque neede. We identified that the resistance was caused by the gear mechanism in the blinds' housing. However, we decided not to mess with it to avoid damaging the already modified blinds.
Another blinds was bought and the gear mechanism was removed.
