Hello,

Thanks on your input, I will avoid buying it.

It seemed so promising, It runs on GNU/Linux and it has lots of
support, but I think that the CPU ruins it. (According to my very
short research)

I was wanting to create a simple robot that would drive around
according to Python scripts.

I found a product called the Zumo robot which looked promising;

They also have an Arduino version;

I don't know how an Arduino works, but if you think that will be a
better option, I will consider it. According to the website it says:

"Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software. It's intended for anyone making interactive
projects."

So maybe it will be better.

I looked at the BeagleBone and the Cubieboard but I don't think they
have the exact same support, and since I am a newbie at robotics and
electronics, it makes it harder to make such a project.

Do you think that the Ardunio is better? Can I use free software on it?

Thanks,
