<p>Added some thoughts of mine</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>I feel for larger robtic projects like this, the [[Robotic Tractor]], and other devices (such as a replication/fork or [[OpenDog]] or the [[CoBot]] ) ,<br /> <br /> modifying [[Odrive]] 1.0 or whatever was the last [[FLOSS]] version to be a modular (ie per motor) system, and possibly creating a workbench in kicad?, Is almost a must.<br /> <br /> If you want preformance and reliability servos are the way to go. The only OS and SOMEWHAT inexpensive option is [[ODrive]]<br /> <br /> It went closed source recently, the only available board does two motors (double check me on that), and it may (again double check me) have a price premium for profit<br /> <br /> Also if it were modular, custom integrated pcb&#039;s for the robots could be made saving space and mass ( [[James Brunton]] has a pile of Odrive boards all seperate on the current opendog<br /> <br /> I am not the electronics sme, and this probably shouldn&#039;t outpace the current projects (D3D work, OBi work, and Enterprise work), but perhaps with the workbench stuff we are getting into, this may be a good direction to dev for as well (ie kicad workbench)<br /> <br /> Just my thoughts<br /> <br /> --[[User:Eric|Eric]] ([[User talk:Eric|talk]]) 19:22, 10 August 2020 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ----</div>
