Pandorabots

Also a Lidar system was also being worked on. Has any progress been made in their development? I am just asking as to the viability of these concepts. Dj, go easy on me. Ron

I have always used the DIY kit to build all my robots. I am now wanting to start building a more robust semi commercial robot that I could eventually build and sell. It would...
