V0.9 Has arrived! Apart from adding a cool new logo I have corrected the SCLK problem with V0.8. The only bummer is I am out of ATMEGA 328p-au's and will need to wait for new chips to arrive.

In other news I selected the motors for the project. The 60 rpm 2.4-6.0v reduced motor supplied by Seeed Studio will be more than enough to push the little bot along (cheaper alternatives are available elsewhere but Seeed is a more stable supplier.)

I also selected a battery. Something similar to this E-Flite 200 mAh 3c 3.7v should be good enough for the prototyping phase. I have been looking into on board charging and 5.0v batteries with more mAh but for now this tiny battery will have to do!
