RoboCup Small Size League is an internationally run competition that challenges teams to create a fleet of robot soccer players to autonomously play a miniature size game of soccer. The goal of this project was two-fold: to both design a custom embedded system on a PCB for use inside of the robot players, and to create firmware drivers with an easy-to-use API for future firmware developers to reduce the complexity of interacting with on-board peripherals. The embedded system features on-board human input and output devices, easy programming and debugging support, receptacles for an inertial measurement unit and wireless transceiver module, future expandability through accessible microcontroller pin headers, and support for external electronic speed controller modules.
