#### Project on printables

https://www.printables.com/model/1026909-rocker-bogie-rover-wip

### Hardware design is heavily inspired by:

#### WildWillyRobots ~ Stair Climbing Rover

- https://www.youtube.com/@wildwillyrobots

- https://www.printables.com/model/194299-stair-climbing-rover

### Disclaimer

- This is a side project and might take a long time to finish

- I have no previous experience in low voltage electronics other than flashing an LED,

  so I have a lot to learn for this project

- I will share my code and 3D models, but I might not provide complete build instructions

  or detailed videos due to time constraints
