Open Loop Response of the Inverted Pendulum System

The open loop system response was recorded after multiple attempts to control the system robustly had failed. It was hypothesized that the inability to control the pendulum was not on account of sensor latency or algorithmic error, but motor limitation. It was judged that if the open loop test would display the pendulum falling in one direction only despite the motor moving to oppose it, that meant that the motor was insufficient for the purposes of this project.
