To be be able to test some ideas related to subsumption architecture, I wanted to design my own differential drive autonomous robot. In this project I will bring together the various parts that are made for this idea.

Apart from the electronics and software, the mechanics are an essential part of any moving device. My mechanics skills are limited to using a lasercutter and mechanical assembly. I'm not (yet) in a position to do 3D design and 3D-print parts. I hope to get some help from a family member for that (some time in the future, not a pressing need right now).

A first idea of where this is going can be shown here:

Update June 2017: I ordered boards in a panellised design. So now I have to wait until DirtyPCB delivers the proto-pack. I hope they can deliver within this month, we will see.

Update June 2017 (2 weeks later): the boards have arrived. My proto-pack contains 12 pcb's. Happiness !!! Now to find the time to start soldering ....

As hardware develops, I will post it here ...
