v7 v8 4 4 * A standard stackable [http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11473 interface] that lets you plug "shields" into the single-board computers to extend their functionality with things like [http://www.gearbest.com/other-accessories/pp_218079.html motor control], [http://www.gearbest.com/development-boards/pp_136559.html Ethernet], [http://store.cutedigi.com/juniper-wifi-shield-for-arduino-based-on-gainspan-module/ WiFi], etc. 5 5 6 Single board computers like Arduino are perfect for robotics because they are small, rugged, and can easily run on battery power. We use Arduino computers on Team 2537 because they are very inexpensive (often available for less than $4) and are perfect for robotics. Arduino computers can easily be connected to sensors that provide information about the real world and actuators such as motors and solenoids. Other popular single-board computers for robotics include the [http://www.sainsmart.com/raspberry-pi-2-model-b-1gb-ram-quad-core-cpu-latest-version-2015-6x-faster.html Rasberry Pi] and [http://www.mbed.com/en/ mBed].6 Single board computers like Arduino are perfect for robotics because they are small, rugged, and can easily run on battery power.
