This is a page devoted to __robotic hardware platforms__, i.e., possible chassis and [control|Controller] prototypes for a low-cost, entry-level robot.

It could admittedly use a fair bit of work.

From a message on 2020-09-08 by Doug Paradis to the DPRG mailing list:
%%blockquote
[Instructables|https://www.instructables.com/] sometimes drops a "pearl before swine" article that is 
well worth the read. Author GregF10 has written a series of four 
Instructables that describe an indoor rover using a [Rpi|RaspberryPi] and Pololu 
A-star 32U4 microcontroller. Main sensors are an [IMU] (mostly gyro) 
and a LidarLite v3. The articles are organized by: overview, locomotion, 
localization, and navigation. 

The navigation article has a really interesting discussion about the 
use of the LiDAR sensor. The articles are well written and worth your 
time to investigate.
