The API for this robot is quite simple and the tactile feedback from a physical device is often very rewarding feeling when your program works. Having a high level Python based API makes this usable with very small children too. I can see this being used in a computer class at an elementary school for instance.

Hmm, imagine a cluster of them -- Rise of Tuxes (Skynet!).
99 bucks isn't bad either. - UncleAl418, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1neat linux toy
- Aeuta, on 03/14/2008, -1/+1Waiting for the 2.0 version of the hardware... If I could get one for free I would love it but since I can't I will hold off on spending on the Penguin. Great toy thoughy :)
