• 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.

libjuice - UDP Interactive Connectivity Establishment
libjuice   (JUICE is a UDP Interactive Connectivity Establishment library) allows to open bidirectionnal User Datagram Protocol (UDP) streams with Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal.

The library is a simplified implementation of the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol, client-side and server-side, written in C without dependencies for POSIX platforms (including GNU/Linux, Android, Apple macOS and iOS) and Microsoft Windows. The client supports only a single component over UDP per session in a standard single-gateway network topology, as this should be sufficient for the majority of use cases nowadays.

libdatachannel - C/C++ WebRTC network library
libdatachannel is a standalone implementation of WebRTC Data Channels, WebRTC Media Transport, and WebSockets in C++17 with C bindings for POSIX platforms (including GNU/Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Apple macOS and iOS) and Microsoft Windows. WebRTC is a W3C and IETF standard enabling real-time peer-to-peer data and media exchange between two devices.
