+# OpenRCore
+
+OpenRCore ("Open Robot Core") is an open source project intended to provide a
+similar development experience as FIRST Tech Challenge's [FtcRobotController](https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController)
+but supporting more affordable hardware.
+
+## Hardware Overview
+
+OpenRCore targets the [nRF52 devkit](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nRF52-DK),
+rather than the REV control hub. This hardware was chosen for a few reasons:
+
+- Cost & Availability: The nRF52 devkit is available from multiple vendors, and
+runs for less than $40 USD.
+- Integrated Bluetooth: The devkit comes with built-in Bluetooth, which is used
+for connecting via a server control application.
+- Zephyr: The devkit is intended to be used with Zephyr (what this project is
+using), and is a great introduction into embedded development.
+- Arduino Shield Compatible: The devkit has the same pin-out as an Arduino, so
+the project can be extended to support a variety of shield peripherals.
+
+## Setup
+
+TBD
+
+## Usage
+
+TBD

+## Design
