Micro Invaders is a tracked robot with a chassis that houses its parts, drive wheels, idlers and tracks. Its parts are 3D-printable, and the robot is designed to be assembled or disassembled without tools. The repository provides printable parts and electronics files; the printing checklist identifies parts for the competition.
