Raspberry Pi driven laser tag bot controller

Laser Tag Bot

Code for the Technic and Raspberry Pi laser tag pair of robots I am building. Details of the robots will be in some blog posts in due course. The code here will need modification unless you build an identically connected robot. However modification should be fairly easy.

The web portion provides a joypad and fire button as a full screen web page. It has been designed for use with a recent iPhone without any testing on other platforms (although I don't believe I've used any iOS specific features). However it is completely independent of the robot hardware. It communicates with the server, which is designed to run on the robot, via WebSockets. The HTTP portion of the server talks to a instantiation of the Robot object from the robot_interface.py file, so updates for different hardware should just be a matter of changing the method implementations in that file. Currently it assumes you are using a Pimoroni Explorer pHat to interface with the hardware.
