How to build and program your own Raspberry Pi robot

We all loved remote control cars when we were kids. Actually let’s face it, we still do. Here’s your opportunity to get your hands on the grown-up version, i.e. the open source one that you can build and program yourself. All you need are some python coding skills and a SunFounder Raspberry Pi Robot Kit.

These powerful kits come with an array of mechanical parts, three circuit boards, and a Raspberry Pi of course. You also get the python code you need included to get the car up and running, so it doesn’t take much expertise to get started. It’s the techie equivalent of a build-it yourself frigate or a Lego train.

It would make a great nerd gift, but an even better gift for yourself.

Perhaps most excitingly, you also get a wide-angle USB webcam to stick on the front of your contraption. This can transmit images and video in real-time back to your device. Combine this with controlling the car with the included code (or your own souped-up version) and you can watch live as you tear around the area. PC, smartphone or tablet, you can run this bad-boy on anything.

For the next few days you can get your full kit for just $149.99. It would make a great nerd gift, but an even better gift for yourself.
