Setting up RAID on boot drive?

I am part of a project team working with robotics, and I would like to present a computer to the team that takes computing pressure off the robots we are working with and transfers them to a computer that will handle all sorts of high-computation algorithms for vision processing, environment mapping, and localization. The system has to be reliable, so I was thinking about doing a raid 1 boot drive with multiple SSDs to provide lots of redundancy. Is it possible to set something like this up, and how would it be done?

Well, setting up SSDs in raid shouldn't be much of a problem. The problem would be how to communicate with the computer which is more programming than hardware. You might find the answers you're looking for on the programming forum.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
