Very nice little and compact Bot. I like the compact and efficient design, low profile, fairly easy to get components and modules. OpenHardware PCB design and lots of OpenSource software/tools, nice entry level bot. KiCad 8, etc. Still baffles me, I will leave it up to "more seasoned" PCB designers, I just like to connect modules and wires, and see what works.
The proliferation of small, inexpensive, and easy to use modules has certainly opened up the world of small microcontrollers to many more people than when we had to design and build our own circuits! :)
@@mirobotech Yes I too have had lots of fun designing a dozen or so boards and having them made. I just do these mostly for fun. A few have helped solve problems on my farm and a few designs work well for the "Learn to Solder" workshops I do as a volunteer at local public libraries. I donate the boards, components and use of my 6 solder station setups for the workshops. Over the last 10 years we have had more than 200 people do these 2 hour workshops with almost all leaving with a working board. My favorite board for this time of year is a Christmas tree shaped PCB with blinky lights and buzzer Christmas tunes coded on an ATtiny85. I have a couple of videos on my channel where I document the design. I have never thought about selling my designs but I commend you for taking it to the next level. It looks like your prices will make your customers happy but won't make you rich. Good luck and thanks for giving back to the community.

Interesting concept.
Thanks! I'm having lots of fun with it.
