Done: - Provisional assembly of the omni base.
- Moving the omni base using ROS Twist.
- Moving the base using a mecanum base simulation with Nav.
Development: - Final assembly of the omni base. - Start implementing odometry using the IMU (yet to arrive). - Tune PI control within each ODrive for each motor. - Check current consumption under load. - Development of the base PCBs. - Both C1 LiDARs have been ordered.

Development: - First progress on the PCBs for motor control and odometry implementation on the omnibase.
- Implementation of configuration and control functions via CAN for the ODrives on the STM32.
- Started the motor mount design, adapting the previous motor anchoring to the 4040 extrusion profile.
