2) Research on the following
- SBRIO 9642
Look up manuals from here
Especially these 2 (hereand here) - Beagleboard
Seems like a cheap controller which fits our needs really well. Look up the specs and give your opinion. - Driver Feedback Cameras
Look up some good cameras (such as network ip cameras) which are affordable and easy to use - Limit Switches with mounts (or someone suggested 3D printing the mounts?)
I will try to post all these meeting summaries on http://bit.ly/brobotsuiuc as well.
Have a great week ahead!
