I'm a student, senior, but this is my fourth year. To teach new programmers, we lent out Launchpads to students (http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...id=PLA_3601071) They are VERY cheap and do the same as arduino for the most part. Just a suggestion.

You mentioned computer vision. too. That can all be done for free (minus the cameras). OpenCV (or OpenNI) + Linux + QT (a free IDE).
