The basic idea is this: six wheels, all ~25mm 180-200rpm motors with encoders. The two center wheels are driven but not steerable. The four corner wheels are mounted on ServoBlocks so they can be steered. Rather than a Rocker-Bogie, we opt for the
simpler Triple-Rocker. This requires two identical and one almost-the-same rocker arms, with dual ball bearing mounts.
There will be three pairs of motors, three dual motor controllers, and three batteries. Basically three separate systems, with two I2C isolators communicating between. The front and back motor/controller pairs (with the steering) are effectively identical. The central system won't have the steering, so that's where we'll mount the controller (likely a Raspberry Pi) and the rest of the sensors.
