We made edits to the final report.  We attempted to use a new multiplexer to control the motors.  The tests were unsuccessful. Additionally, the multiplexer was damaged in testing.  One of the pins(power in) was bent and ultimately snapped off.  The damage was not due to the circuit or stress, but human error.  We continued to test the circuit by using an additional wire to connect the multiplexer to the circuit.  The circuit seems to work with this modification erratically.

The team made an observation during our tests that the haptic motors began to emit low levels of heat after extended periods of testing.  Looking forward we may need to adjust the amount of current to the motors.
