Love getting people into robotics. The problem is that this kit has two motors and some sensors that go into a car, for $199. Not much you can do other than drive or program the car. With starter kits like this one http://www.vexrobotics.com/starter-kit-with-controller.html http://www.vexrobotics.com/starter-kit-with-controller.html
you get parts to build a number of different robots. Granted, it's $280, but the extra $80 gets you a lot more learning.
- johncole 10y agoVex is great, I won't trash that platform. The GoPiGo has a lot more depth on programming, and has quite a few projects.
- panglott 10y agoYep. A better title would be "Build a robot with a $9 CHIP computer and a $100 robotics kit" Still, this is a very useful tutorial on how to adapt a RaspPi robotics kit to the CHIP computer.
- pryelluw 10y agoOr buy a boe bot with an arduino. Its a proven platform built to last. Its around $150 for everything.
