Replicate RDAS
If I reach this amount, I can replicate the current version of RDAS and donate it to an interested maker for beta testing and collaborative development

I'm working on making modular robots that unfold from a standard CubeSat size.
The overall problem that I am trying to solve is being able to rapidly deploy a system of automated movement.
An example mission of this would be for use in natural disaster settings during the humanitarian efforts. The robot modules would be unpacked from a backpack, then configured and linked together to perform a task. Tasks can vary depending on the scenario, such as sorting supplies to go to a specific area, or even digging out areas to let standing water flow away from shelter locations. By having the robots help with tasks the effort is in parallel with the human, freeing up time for the human to do complex decision making jobs.
The first step towards working on the problem is to create one of the robot modules. This project is about the RDAS Drive module.
By pledging to my project here on Patreon, you will be helping me with the costs associated with the continued research and development of the platform. For example: motors, materials, components, board fabrication.
