The real robot is not quite ready to roll yet, so they've spent the last four weeks developing and debugging their autonomous code with the mini-bot. All signs point to it scaling nicely to the real robot.

It was a major PITA to get it together, but mostly because of poor planning. I would much rather chase a 2 lb. robot around a 1/3 scale course than wrestle with a 100 lb. robot. I give it a B.
i agree..... but then the significance of the edu robotics kit descreases suring the build... i won't use it for protoyping tho
