I was thinking about making a version of #fluffbug robot with a raspberry pi pico for a while now, and even tested it a bit, but now I decided to pull the trigger on it, especially with the pico w available, and the camera working. So here is #moobug, a bovine cousin of the fluffbug. I kept it pretty simple, just the battery management stuff (protection and charging) on board, plus servo connectors. Almost everything is SMD. And there is room to connect extra-wide shields – muzzles?

And now the most recent #fluffbug is fixed and assembled. I think this is where I stop with the hardware, and try to focus on the software for a bit. I realized that even if I get the camera shield to work, I can't use it with this robot, because it uses at least one PWM channel, and I use all eight PWM channels for the servos. This makes me think about the picow, but if I got that route, it will be a new project probably. Name it #moobug or something. In either case I will need the software.
