Content
During the session, we went through the concepts of an Autonomous Robot, which would require a Body and a 'Brain' where 'Brain' refers to the actual programming of the robot vs. something physical.
We also went through some of the various kinds of parts in more detail (including their proper or PaloBot-standard names to aid communication). Most of these are contained in this description:
