It belongs with the robotics & motion, rf & radio and sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
A roomba chassis modded into a ROS learning platform with modular capability tower design.
A modular payload for use as a ROS learning platform. Each floor of the chassis delivers different capabilities. The initial design is mounted on a differential drive roomba with plans to expand to treaded or quad-coptor platforms.
This PCB is used to stack 2x DC-DC converters below and a voltage cutoff board on the top. This PCB distributes power from battery inputs to get converted to 12V and 5V. It interfaces with the following components:
