The team tested a GMC seat motor to find its power curve and determine the optimal pinion gear size. They attached an encoder to the motor assembly and loaded it with weights to generate a curve in Data Studio. Analysis of the results showed the motor's no-load speed, stall torque, and maximum power. Based on the required output torque and strength considerations, they calculated that a 33-tooth larger gear paired with a 7-tooth pinion gear would meet requirements.
