As someone who makes a lot of robots, I will support this on principle. I really like that the board can accept a high current power source and has a cutoff switch.<p>I am always a little nervous about building a robot around a board when I am uncertain about how it will be supported. If you are really building robots that are going to be used out doors or in rugged environments you want to be able to replace every part. Controller boards aren't really the expensive part of robots.<p>For Decapitron, an autonomous combat robot (<a href="http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/140197-Decapitron!" rel="nofollow">http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/140197-Decapitron!</a>), I have had to replace the controller board twice. That may sound like a lot but shorts and power surges aren't that strange in combat. But now that board isn't made anymore. So it is a big problem if the board gets damaged in combat. That's the advantage of using something really standard, like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. I can get one of those next year.<p>Still, I will try this.
