The X1 will be the main ROS node and I will use a mini-Ethernet hub to connect the X1 to the motor controller(s).

Command and control will be done through the X1 and eventuallyy some sort of SLAM with cheaper off the shelf cameras.

Thanks for the question.

Are you sure? yes | no

How are you planning to integrate the X1 ?
