Disclaimer up front: I have a significant interest in this company and product, so I'm definitely pimpin' my own sauces. :)
With that said, we[0] build a product called MRK-1 which is a programmable autonomous robot built using a custom board we developed using similar technology to Arduino. Our kits are around $100, very simple to build an operate, and we have a sweet textbook written by some awesome guy named blister[1]. :D
We're geared more towards selling to individual schools and school districts, but if you're interested, I can hook you up with a kit and a digital copy of the programming book.

- geppetto 10y agoIt's an interesting product but I need vanilla Arduino and off-the-shell parts. We build one different robot a year as a final project after a few months experimenting with simpler circuits and components.
- blister 10y agoWe basically are vanilla Arduino and off-the-shelf parts. All our board does is combine the Atmega 328 with a motor controller and has some IR sensors pre-soldered onto the board. The motors, sensors, and even some IO headers are just generic 5v pins. You program our board using the Arduino IDE and can configure the actual robot any way you want. :)
