Small robot intended for control-1 exercises.


==User interface==
REGBOT is a small robot designed for exercises for our linear control 1 course (PID control) ([http://www.dtu.dk/english/Service/Phonebook/Person?id=14453 author]).


The user interface can configure and run the robot, as wel as inspecting almost all values on the robot. Written in python using Qt GUI library.
