Re: [Ri3D] BOOM DONE. New video w/ more robot shots

Thanks for releasing the CAD, code, BoM and more details of the design.

I was pleasantly surprised how inexpensive the display was - about $40 in parts + $25 Arduino.

(Last season one of our students implemented a 2 digit 7 segment display using addressable full color LED strip with the Arduino controller. We also had colored bar chart lights indicating wheel speeds and other telemetry. Our robot design didn't allow us to make full use of the feature but we were very happy with the use of visual feedback on the robot.)

I'd love to see the robot play in match conditions. Perhaps a lunchtime demonstration can be arranged at one of the NE District events?

And a special thanks to whoever added the cost of the 1s and 0s to the software BoM !
