So here's what Fetch looks like with it's frame all put together, took around a week to fully finish building the frame and now I'm working on getting the circuits to actually work with my code after soldering all the components together. The kinect sensor on top will be Fetch's main sensor for mapping and navigation. I haven't decided what computer I want to use as the brain for Fetch. At first I was planning on using my nice ol' thinkpad, but that only has two USB A ports when I need 2 for each micro-controller (Arduino Mega and Tiva C Launchpad), 1 for the Kinect Sensor, and one for the camera on Fetch's arm. And getting a USB hub may not work as each controller/sensor needs its own dedicated port either for serial or for data, but I'll have to see.
