Hello LeoRover Team, Please help to clarify: 1. Raspberry pi is flashed with Ubuntu 20.04 not raspberry OS ? 2. Can I use Some other controller instead of Ubuntu (another flashed with Ubuntu 20.04 based on ARMv8) ? Obviously similar RX/USB/Camera interfaces as raspberry pi ?
Hi, so regarding the questions: 1. It's Ubuntu 20.04 + ROS Melodic, Raspbian doesn't really work well with ROS. 2. You meant 'instead or Raspi', right? Yes, you can. For ex. you can check how the image is built on Github and reproduce that for any other SBC. There sure will be some issues to overcome, but everything should be doable. But as well, if you need more power, you can just put any other computer on top of the rover and connect via Eth to the core RaspberryPi.
Thanks for the opinion. Tbh given the 3d models are open to the public you can build it on your own. We had some member of the community succesfully reproducing the rover, not sure what was the cost though.
finally updates for the little rover

5k for this kit is way way way too much! A bunch of 3d printed parts and simple metal folded plates...

The stuff cool enough but you need convince to people your inventions are useful.. About the presentation need more confidence.. I love your invention
