I'm always on the lookout for a easy to use (simple tool chain) with a reasonable number of ports for motors, GPIO analog that is inexpensive.

The roboRio is in the high cost category and it has a complex tool chain, but it has a ton of options.

I have both the VEX Cortex and the brain for the IQ and like how they work. And RobotC works well on both of them. I'd like to see a free standing rotational sensor for IQ. Love the IME built into the motors, but would like to be able to measure angles (like the EDR red potentiometers)

Lots of RasbPi hats along with Arduino Shields make them possibilities. But the open circuitry makes them a little messy to start and then a big mess when you get everything wired up to it.
