With development of TractorBot 2015 well underway for this years PiWars competition, Keith was recently looking back at last years competition. We promised to make TractorBot 2014 opensource, the lasercut files have been on GitHub for some months now, and a month or so ago, Phil added the C++ source code along with installation instructions. So last weekend Keith pushed some more commits with details of the home made motor driver and interface board along with some more descriptions on the various attachments that TractorBot was armed with.
With time marching on, our time will now be devoted to this years robot. We feel there is enough information now published on last years entry, however if you are after any specific information please get in touch, we will either update the repository or get the information over to you in some form.
All information on TractorBot 2014 can be found on GitHub here
If you use any of our resources we would love to hear about it.
