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.
