Design and Initial Build Raspberry Pi Pico Robot - Pico Zumo

This is putting a Raspberry pi Pico together with a Pololu Zumo chassis. This video goes through the design stages and initial build stages of this robot.

Parts (so far):

• Raspberry Pi Pico
• Pololu Zumo - a tiny tracked robot
• Adafruit N20 motors with Encoders
• Furniture 90 degree bracket for sensor mount (this may change)
• TB6612fng motor controller (not a DRV8833 - although that would do)
• 2x VL53L0x distance sensors (might need to change the face plate and face them out)
• 2 x Pimoroni 5x5 LED matrix breakout.
• Pololu 6 way line/reflectance sensor.
