I would be interested in hearing what test jigs and test sets that you
have built and used in prototyping your robots.

Both electronic and mechanical efforts are of interest.

Pictures would be great.

Thanks for any contributions.

When we were working on our DARPA Grand Challenge vehicle,
we had a few test fixtures. One was a wooden mockup of the
steering linkage, with servomotor. Another was a test fixture
for the throttle linkage box, which started life as a cruise
