Robotics with Python Raspberry Pi and GoPiGo Introduction

From the creator

Learning to program robots is both rewarding and challenging. The aim with this tutorial series is to make programming and robotics as simple and enjoyable as possible. We do this with the Python programming language, which is extremely user-friendly, as well as using the GoPiGo framework. The GoPiGo, which started as a kickstarter, is a framework built to work with the Raspberry Pi as a robotics framework. Setting up and building your Robot with this is extremely simple and fast, without any soldering required. You will learn how to build and program your very own robot in this series.

Then you'll need a Raspberry Pi Model B: http://amzn.to/1IWYVPB You will also need an SD card with at least 4gb of space, but I had a 4gb SD card that still didn't have enough remaining space after a format, so you should get at least 8. http://amzn.to/1IX5OAo wifi dongle: http://amzn.to/1TPfC83 From here, everything else is optional. We'll be using all of these things, but you can just skip the parts if you don't want to splurge for them all.
