TheEggBot project, according to the YouTube video from the reference, it is slow and shaky. We assume it was poorly designed so it ended up with shakiness. In addition, we think the slowness is a result of the programing.
Starting with this design, our idea is to create a solid design first and try to make it more accurate and nicely looked. However, we are thinking of using the same circuit and program that listed in the reference and see how it works. Then, we will see how to improve the efficiency of the program.

Proposal Outline
The following is an outline for text of a project proposal. The recommended lengths of sections are given assuming a document length of approximately six pages. Note that all questions for a section may not apply to your proposal, and should be used as a general guide only.
1. Introduction (1 or 2 paragraphs) o Motivation Sentence
o Summarize the problem (1 or 2 sentences) o Summarize the solution (1 or 2 sentences)
o Describe format of rest of proposal (sections, etc.)
2. Background (1 to 3 paragraphs)
o What is the history of the problem?
o Why is this problem interesting?
o When and why does the problem occur?
o Is the problem already solved? What is done now?
o Are there any similar systems or solutions to the one that is proposed? If so, reference and very briefly explain them.
o Are there are possible improvements to current solutions?
3. Project Summary (1 paragraph)
o What in general will this project achieve? (Do not delve into details or timelines.)
4. Project Details
o Project Scope and Elements (2-3 paragraphs + figures)
- Describe the overall project and then break it down into the steps or elements necessary to bring the project to fruition.
- Diagrams and figures are useful here, if appropriate.
- What software, hardware, or tools will be used?
o Implementation Issues and Challenges (2-3 paragraphs)
- What will be the most difficult issues and challenges in the implementation?
- Will any special facilities or equipment be needed in the execution of the project?
- Where will the project be constructed?
- Will any unique skills be required?
o Deliverables (3-5 paragraphs - point-form may be used for some of the description)
- What will the project produce? (prototype, model, program, report, etc.)
- Describe in relative detail the features of each of the project's products.
- You may wish to separate deliverables into phases and indicate optional components given time.
- Emphasize what your project contributes or achieves!
o Timeline (1 paragraph - point-form is suitable)
- Provide an estimated timeline of project deliverables and important dates.
- Gantt Chart
o Budget (1 paragraph + list/table)
- What will be the cost to execute the project?
- What is the source of funding for the project?
- Are there outside sources of funding?
5. Conclusion (1 paragraph)
o Summarize the project including the problem, motivation, and proposed solution, and re-state important (planned) contributions.
6. References
o List references used to compile proposal and references that will be used for project (if already known).
