Presented is a report on the design of Version 3.0 of the BEST Lab Tensegrity Rapid Prototyping Kit, with particular attention paid to the design of the internal electronics and the software algorithms deployed on the kit. Also presented is a characterization of novel stretch sensors, with a discussion of how they may be used for state estimation of a Tensegrity robot. A discussion of the IP and Technical Strategy surrounding the project is also presented.
