RC-VSTB, moving the first step!

The RC Vehicle System Test Bed (RC-VSTB) is an extremely simplified version of Mimas: the OS running on the actual rover is tested on the structure of an RC car to gain confidence with the driving system, obstacle recognition and avoidance algorithm and sensors. First connections were made to connect the motors and the preexisting circuits with a Raspberry Pi 1. Several tests were performed to ensure all connections are working properly.
