If your building the 50 dollar robot get the Axon.
Axon would be my choice for a complex robotics project, but i wouldn't select a $100 microcontroller board for a $50 robot.
...Unless you are 'mathematically challenged' You have a good point Admin, however there are several 'build a first robot' guides on the net using a variety of microcontroller modules. Your $50 'bot stood out with it's 'start from scratch' philosophy requiring more involvement and challenge, and offering much greater reward in terms of knowledge gained. I would argue it is still worth building the $50 controller for a first robot as it's educational value is far greater than the cost of it's components. By buying a pre-built controller board you are actually missing out!
I suspected something like this when i read about what prizes where................
As did I, which made me 'bet' Admin he had another account. I won the bet.
Axon 2
I wonder if the results would hold true on an Arduino forum...
Probably the best place to find out that type of information is at those stores/forums like Trossen Robotics who sell Axon's and Arduino's and ... And find out how much of each of them they sell...Kurt
