Indie robot U-BOT day 32: prototype control board mount ready for motor torque testing
_Stocko_ · x · 2026-09-19
Indie developer Stocko shares day 32 of the U-BOT prototype robot project: currently machining a mount for the prototype control board, which will be much smaller on the final robot. The plan is to get it into the yard within a day or two to test motor torque. A build-log style update showing progress from control board fabrication to full-robot field testing.
