Note that I have no hardware contributions, all I did is to gather the information, assemble things and write the firmware. I want this wonderful robot to be easy to clone, therefore I created this repository. The original Penny#1 is created by [Jeremy Zimmer](https://www.robotshop.com/community/robots/show/penny). The wiring being cumbersome and cheapduino being discontinued, Dennis van Elteren has designed the motherboard that I also use. Thus Penny#2 was born. Here I present you Penny#3. While I have Dennis' sanction to publish his files, I failed to contact Jeremy. The software, however is distributed under the DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE. -- cgit v1.2.3
