Beginners to advanced roboteers will have a blast building a Raspberry Pi powered robot in this free 2 hour workshop. You can purchase a PiWars USA Workshop Kit that will have EVERYTHING you need to build your robot. BUT, if you are an experienced roboteer & have a lot of awesome components already, bring your own stuff! Just remember, we are using the Raspberry Pi to run our robots.
