The Plan...

What I'm planning to do is purchase both a RaspiRobot Board and the Magician Chassis, and put them both together in to a simple programmable robot. As easy as that, I hope. The tutorials I'm going to use are those by Simon Monk (https://github.com/simonmonk/raspirobotboard). I'm going to make the basic robot, then maybe go for something more impressive and try to add a Ultrasonic sensor or something along those lines to try to make it a little more exciting!

What's this all about?

The idea behind my project is using the Raspberry Pi to try and create a simple robot. The Raspberry Pi is a extremely versatile and popular way of getting coding out to the masses. I purchased my Model B Raspberry Pi board back when they first came out and there was a 2 month waiting list! If you want to know more about the Raspberry Pi go to their website www.raspberrypi.org.
