Now that I have purchased a MonsterBorg, I would like to get started reading the hardware and software documentation before the hardware actually arrives. Can you point me to the hardware and software documentation for the MonsterBorg? Thx

MonsterBorg information
We do not have the documentation ready for MonsterBorg yet, but we do have some helpful information.
First the pages for the motor controller used in MonsterBorg can be found here: ThunderBorg - Powerful motor controller mounted to your Raspberry Pi. The standard joystick example for ThunderBorg will work with MonsterBorg unchanged :) This covers a large portion of the software documentation, namely the motor control aspects.
Second we have added a MonsterBorg version of our Web UI code,
monsterWeb.py, to our diddyborg-web GitHub page. This is the software used for remote control via the network and using a Pi camera.If you want to see some of our MonsterBorgs in action there is a blog post here with some on-board footage: MonsterBorg self-driving footage and you can see them running in our latest testing round of Formula Pi here.
