 * Crafted (manually) heat sinks for the power transistors; I couldn't find commercially available ones for my design.
 * Solved (partially) an issue with the fault tolerance algorithm that has to do with the limited registers in the I/O interface.

 ** To get the delay compensator to work, the main issue that is left for me is to find a solution/workaround for the blocking TCP sockets of LabVIEW. Worse come to worst, I may have to write the protocol myself (something I am trying to avoid so far).
