- An Arduino Mega https://store.arduino.cc/mega-2560-r3. Using the Mega because the project needs three hardware interrupt pins to decode the RC receiver's PWM signals.
- A Bosch BNO055 IMU https://www.adafruit.com/product/2472. Gives ready-to-use tilt angle estimation as well as gyro and accelerometer raw readings.
- An ODrive motor controller (48V) https://odriverobotics.com/shop/odrive-v35. Enables very smooth current control for the two motors.
