This robot uses a Raspberry Pi as the brains along with several interface boards to control the motors, provide feedback, and interface to sensors. A robot with the Raspberry Pi was chosen because it provides a well known platform that students can quickly get started with yet has plenty of power to grow with them as they progress.
