It uses a feather rp-2040 with a motor control featherwing as its brains as well as featuring meccanum wheels that enable it to better evade obstacles. + +The repo includes the code and I will soon add the wiring. + +For the chassis one can use any generic 4 motor chassis. The motors I used were the classic yellow tt motors, but any kind of dc motors could be used. + +I specifically used a modified version of the chassis made for MechMaven (https://www.instructables.com/MechaMaven-the-Educational-Robot-Explorer/), by earldanielph on instructables. I simply cut it down to fit the competition size guidelines. + +The aforementioned was used only as a carriage for the motors, with the rest of the chassis being made of two layers of coroplast to hold the microcontroller, sensors and batteries.
