Rotifera bunddles two frameworks:
- base contains utilities to communicate with the robot. It is meant to run on a distant computer.
- robot contains the arbiter's files, the arduino's firmware and a python framework to build custom behaviors. It is meant to run on the embedded computer.

Backward speed enable: 1578 us
Backward speed disable (once enabled): 1576 us
Forward speed enable: 1527 us
Forward speed disbale (once enabled): 1529 us
Theoretical zero: (1578 + 1527) / 2 = 1552.5 us
