Be aware though that some parts are proprietary to the various chipset makers included in the robot board. But the goal is to let people upgrade the software as they want. I'm always sad when i see open source people getting agressive about that kind of subjects. Alejandro,

If you are using open source in the robot... is your partner, Meccano, aware of his duty about the source code?
