I need some advice on Raspberry Pi for my son who is interested in Robotics.

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

My son is interested in Robotics. He is 15 and has already worked on Raspberry Pi with some friends at school. I would like to get him a Robotics starter kit to begin doing his own projects at home, but I have no clue about this stuff. So I was told to join this group for some advice. Can anyone recommend to me what I need to get…the RPI module on its own does not go very far…so what else do I need to order? Anyone out there who can help me?

 

Would be very grateful for advice.

    There was recently a RoadTest about the Rapiro robot based on the Raspberry Pi. It costs about $450 though, so it might be outside of your budget.

    Really? The reviews for it were really good. I thought it would be better than that.
