Unfortunately not too much! Life gets in the way at times, as does my crippling laziness. We have made some modifications to the design and they are sent to the board house. We hope to have a few demo robots up and running in the new year. I am continuing my experimentation with tiny wheels, on that topic an update will come soon!

The new board release contains 11 robots and an st-link adapter, this is for ease of small scale pick and place. It is unlikely we will be making millions of these things any time soon, but the ability to bash out 11 new minions when needed on the local pick and place machine should be a boon for distributing robots to interested parties.

The new design includes proper forward facing proximity sensors, dual upright charging pins with polarity protection and an updated processor with more of everything! And we hope to implement some proper motor control with the help of our house motor control expert ;) Also have the robots run a simple operating system to aid in the modularity of adding new features.

Fingers crossed that the next update is sooner than 6 months time!
