Thrilled to sponsor & judge the Berlin Robotics × AI Hackathon this weekend!

NormaCore powered the robotics track with our ElRobot Kits & software.

Nothing beats seeing our tech out in the wild driving real Physical AI projects! 🚀🔥

Building an Agritech Rover: Day 11 🛠️

Love this moment: Soldered. Wired. Rolling. ⚡

There is something mesmerizing about an IR camera, @Arduino Max Carrier + Portenta X8 under load ✨

NormaCore Station now runs on @arduino Portenta X8.

Official support is live, with Yocto/Linux build instructions included.

Building a Rover: Day 6 🛠️

Deep in the software and sysadmin trenches today. 💻

The hard rule: at least one LTE modem (ideally both) must stay online. It has to survive:
▪️ Reboots & brownouts 🔌
▪️ OOM killers 💥
▪️ Dead storage & failing SD cards 💾
▪️ Driver bugs & random system panics 🐛

Whatever happens, the connection must live.
If it drops, that's a multi-hundred-kilometer drive just to hit a physical reset button.

Stress-testing configs and cycling failovers now.

Building a Rover: Day 4 🛠️

@arduino Portenta x8 + @norma_core_dev station = ❤️

✅ Custom Linux build using Yocto
✅ No systemd, no Docker, etc., just clean Linux
✅ Remote access using Tailscale

The updated ElRobot Assembly Instructions are live! 🛠️

We’ve overhauled the manual for a much smoother build:
✅ Universal parts: No more L/R mirrors!
✅ Simplified steps: One action at a time.
✅ Built-in QA: Test movement as you build.
✅ Clear warnings: Stop installing motors backwards.

Building a Rover: Day 1 🛠️

Got the 6x6 chassis set up and the wheelbase locked in. The foundation is ready.

The design criteria:
⛰️ All-terrain capability
🛡️ Water & dust resistance
📦 Payload capacity of ~8 kg

Building a Rover: Day 3 🛠️

Got the @Traxxas TRX-6 base completely cleaned up. Now playing the waiting game for spare parts...

Next up on the to-do list:

⚡️Swap out the plastic for metal
⚡️New motors & fresh lube
⚡️Ditch the RC
⚡️Wire in a new CAN-compatible ESC running on LiFePo4
