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.

The robot consist of a 72MHz 32bit ARM processor on a teensy 3.1 board, controlling a pololu motor controller and 2 small pololu motors with magnetic encoder.
