We designed from day one to have the Kid as a removable package to add to our strategic arsenal. The way that i think it's helped our team is that we had to plan things out and not just do it.

We designed a set of bus connectors so that the inputs could be safely and accurately be disconnected from the robot interface.

This is engineering at work my friend.


:

: Our robot has this capability, as well, though we've yet to use it, as there has really been no need (we didn't actually design it for this use).

: I'm not sure this is an actual benefit, as putting a control system, battery, and light on a platform with castors is not exactly the best way to learn about robotics.

: It also screams "COP OUT" to me. *shrug*

: maybe i'm wrong.
