Challengers!

It is time to make science fiction become science fact, we have seen it with the tablet computer from Star Trek, the flat screen display from 2001: A Space Odyssey and now, robots that are almost as intelligent as we are.

To get you started on your challenge journey we have a base-kit that you can work with and from. How you put these into practice is entirely up to you. These sensors, location aware computing parts and micro-controllers might act as the brains behind your project or they may be supplementary to other components you're using.

Either way we have a good collection of equipment for you to sink your soldering iron into, feel free to hack away, apart or together any component as you see fit.

{gallery} Sci-Fi Your Pi
Raspberry Pi Model A+: This low power raspberry pi is ideal to work where efficiency is important
Raspberry Pi 2, Model B: The latest, most powerful version of the Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi, Model B+: The Foundation's last iteration of the Pi, ideal for dedicated applications and connectivity
PiFace Control & Display 2: An add-on with a good combination of inputs, including infra-red and a display
PiFace Digital 2: Adding motor control with tactile input to your Pi project
chipKIT Pi: An Arduino-header compatible, PIC micro-controller based board as a complement to the Pi
Raspberry Pi Camera: 5 Megapixel camera which can record 1080p video, can connect to any Pi
Bitscope Micro: USB connectable/powered oscilloscope, can be used with the Pi to test your project!
Xtrinsic Sensor Board: Connectable to your Pi to add pressure, magnetometer and a digital accelerometer sensors!
GertBot: All in one motor/robotics controller with dedicated micro-controller processor
Microstack Baseboard: Allowing you to connect Microstack I2C and SPI add-ons to the Raspberry Pi
Microstack GPS: Global Positioning System add-on which communicates over Serial
Microstack Accelerometer: Accelerometer to give directional bearing/sensing over I2C
Shim RTC: Add a real-time clock to your Raspberry Pi
Cirrus Logic Audio Card: Adds the ability to record stereo audio and playback in professional high quality sound.
