Quoted for truth. Get your chip load correct, then step up your DoC until you get uncomfortable (or it starts making bad noises).

I'm currently designing a router for BadgerBOTS. Still wrangling sponsors, but I've been working on the paper design/CAD since January.

Here's the latest render from a couple nights ago. Still very WIP.

Eventually I'll scan my whole engineering notebook on this design and upload it. If you guys want, I could scan what I have some time this weekend, but as I said, the design isn't exactly complete. There will also be a build log when it comes to that, but it may be a while.
