C-BISCUIT

This is the beginning of a multi-part, multi-author series on how to build your own robotics platform called C-BISCUIT, an acronym for Collaborative Bot with Integrated System Core, Unmanned Interactivity, and Telemetry. The idea is to collaboratively build a "core" module that can be dropped into various vehicle chassis (quadcopter, land rover, etc) and be easily reconfigured to perform the tasks of each vehicle.
