"DE Robot 02" aka: Debot2, Der2. - Design to meet DPRG "Type B" specifications, 15cm * 15cm and 1 Kilogram or less.

Main purpose will be to test wheel encoders for odometry and to test proximity detector on a turret for obstacle avoidance. Building steps and pictures are chronicled in my robot journal.
