Arduino based toys have their place, but in the end, the shield-bot is a toy.
Where the Pi shine's in my opinion is this: It packs the processing power of a small desktop and combines that with enough interface options (GPIO, Clock, AD and DA, I2C, etc, etc) to interface it with real world projects.
True, some things might be a bit too complex for a kid, but the opportunity to play and learn together with your kids are endless!
- blhack 7y agoThe shield bot is a learning tool. I don’t think a reasonable interpretation of what I’m saying is anything other than that. An atmega and C++ are absolutely NOT toys however. And in fact, arduinos are so cheap at this point that I have put many of them into many finished products.
