Re: Recommendation needed for raspberry pi

I have that exact RPi (Raspberry Pi) kit you mentioned for home use with my 3D printer. It works great, though the power supply is a little lacking (I found it's actually less than 2 Amps, so I can't use some displays that run off the Pi power supply with it). Really, just about anything will do. You don't need a fancy display or even a keyboard once initial setup is done. One thing you should do is get a small network switch for the robot (the one in FIRST Choice is good) so you can easily stream to wherever, including the driver station if needed. Or you can just connect through UART or I2C if you want to make your life harder.
