Robots that use the Teensy microcontroller
PJRC's fast Arm Cortex-M development boards, used for real-time motor control loops.
6 robots in the atlas list it in their bill of materials, 7 units across the rows below. Quantities are what each source lists; a row can be a set or kit, so read the row name with its number.

How this list is built
BOM rows that name a Teensy board. CAN transceivers wired to one are not counted.
A row counts when its part name names the Teensy, or when its specification does and the part name is generic (a compute board, a servo set). Nothing is inferred beyond the row text: a robot that uses the part but does not list it in its bill of materials is not here. Left out on purpose: Linorobot2, because its BOM row says the Teensy family is deprecated and untested in the current hardware docs.
In 3D
Renders come from each project's own source files.
