CARA 2.0 quadruped build
An open-source quadruped we build as a training platform, so new members get hands-on with real hardware early.

CARA 2.0 is an open-source quadruped robot designed by Aaed Musa. The chapter did not design or write any part of it. We build it as a training platform: new members assemble the mechanics, wire and test the electronics, and bring up the software, which is a far better introduction to robotics than reading about it.
Working through someone else's well-documented design teaches the skills a first project needs, including fasteners and tolerances, actuator wiring, power distribution, and flashing and debugging firmware. Members who start here move on to the teams building our own hardware for Lunabotics and SoutheastCon.
