Robotic platforms that are customizable, mobile, and compact are crucial for testing algorithms in dynamic settings and enabling small-scale swarm robotics. In this paper we introduce Vega, a robotic platform that augments the DJI RoboMaster S1 with a Raspberry Pi-based computer, allowing full control of its hardware capabilities and immediate deployment for various swarm applications.
