Issue #126 — Robot

Friday 13 November 2015

Hi everyone

CamJam Kit 3 is out now! It’s a robotics kit – everything you need to build your own Raspberry Pi robot for just £17.

Astro Pi has been featured on BBC’s The One Show, and Channel 5 news in the last week!

Pi-Top have announced a $99 Raspberry Pi screen which is worth a look on their IndieGogo campaign.

There’s still time to buy shares in Pimoroni – check out their crowdcube page.
