First thoughts include Propeller COG custom board layout / color camera / xbee wireless

 

Krumlink is onboard for the electronics layout/design/3D design

TinHead offered his 3D design skills (of which I am surely lacking)

Will update as the project progresses...

 

still need coders to sign up - hint -hint

 

This will be released full opensource complete with cut files / code / schemetics / board layouts and anything else needed to complete or modify this robot.

Files will be provided to participating developers on an acceptance / needed basis. Please hold requests for comunity release of files until the project is in a state of completion - again, they will be freely given.

 

I'm giving chassis to accepted participants - Krumlink is giving boards
