I believe that it uses the MSP430... which is a TI product. No autonomous yet in BEST,.. programming options limited to the free/open source development environment and no real sensors other than limit switches. Also still limited to a 4 channel RC for the OI.

Cool factor of BEST is to see the McGiver bots made from all wood and plastic
Wasn't BEST running the competition that ran off of Game Boy Advances?
