What We Do
To control the robot, we use a network of boards spread around the robot that each perform a specific function. Boards communicate to each other by using a CAN bus. Splitting up robot functions into multiple boards allows us to position boards closer to sensors (reduces noise), debug easier and swap out malfunctioning components (instead of replacing the entire unit)
For an overview on how the electrical system works, see the Architecture/PCB Designs page.

We have 10+ printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are designed in-house. This involves research, schematic design, PCB layout and assembly.
