Description

Since we are not using the whole Raspian (think about the graphical interface, for instance) we can decrease the size of the image for the release.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the release Raspberry Pi image is built, then compare that process with the referenced minimal Raspbian image approaches. Done means producing a smaller release image while retaining the robot's required functionality and documenting or verifying the resulting image size.
