Introduction
This is the repository of Buggybot, a four-legged robot developped by a former student of ENSEIRB-MATMECA. It participated to several robotic competitions :
-
Robot-Wars (2013), a small competition that took place in Bordeaux in which legged robots had to kick out their competitors off a ring. Here is the old repository of the robot.
-
Coupe de France de robotique 2015, the french division of Eurobot 2015.
-
Coupe de France de robotique 2016, the french division of Eurobot 2016.

Questions
How big is the Hydra PCB?
It measures 94 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hydra use?
82 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Hydra KiCad files?
From the xenomorphales/buggybot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is elec/hydra/Hydra.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hydra design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask xenomorphales before reusing the design.
