		+	This rig consists of a cart on a linear rail that can move in 1D by using a DC motor. The cart has a free moving arm attached to it, an angle encoder is used to measure the angle between the cart and the first arm.
		+	A second arm is attached to the end of the first arm, a second angle encoder is used to measure the angle between the first and second arm. Control is implemented on a Raspberry Pi 3, with the aim of balancing the two arms in the vertical position.
