Dear Small Size League.

ER-Force would like to submit their current hardware and software framework as well as its autoref for the open source award. [1, 2, 3]

A short summary:

The hardware project reflects the current state of the ER-Force robots, i.e. the new robot generation used by our team during this RoboCup. The hardware is designed in EAGLE (electronics) and Inventor (mechanics). The electronics section contains prebuilt manufacturer files (Gerber) as well as schematics as PDF, the mechanics part is depicted in assembly drawings.

The software framework reflects the open-source simulator as well as some low level algorithms such as our path planning. The software framework is written in C++ and Qt.

Finally, our open-source projects include our well-known autoref, which is used by the league for many years.

Best regards,

Mike ER-Force
