Anyone know anything about them? We want to get one for Leo's birthday, but there seems to be loads of choice and I don't want to get something too complicated and overface him - it's got to be something he and Arvo can do together in a weekend, for about fifty quid. We already have the Raspberry Pi. Any suggestions, anyone?

This looks achievable - just basically funky meccano! https://www.amazon.co.uk/4tronix-Platform-Sensors-Raspberry-Arduino/dp/B00DJQWUFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441193967&sr=8-1&keywords=raspberry+pi+robots

Scary, scary Joanne we may share a brain. That, in fact, is what I bought today, before reading thus thread. Spooky.
