...This will give you the most complete development toolchain to create and program 8-bit PIC, AVR and LGT microcontrollers.
We have added new capabilities that make GCBASIC the easiest tool set available - supporting over 1400 microcontrollers with tools to make this fun and simple.
Please see the download section for your options. We have two IDEs, we have just the compiler and we have a minimal install - it is your choice.

A build-it-yourself, 6-wheel rover based on the rovers on Mars
...JPL is always looking to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and roboticists to help us explore and learn about our solar system (and beyond!). We release the plans for this rover as a way to try and give budding enthusiasts a fun robotics project that will help teach them and get them involved in robotics sooner and at a lower cost. The specific attributes of the robot you build will depend slightly on the type of electronics and motors you buy for the system.
A Quadrotor Aerial Robot platform for K-12 Education.
...To do this they hold competitions around the world called botball where students program autonomous land robots to perform various sets of tasks.
KIPR, now wants to expand and leave the ground by integrating flying robots (the AR Drone) into the tasks for added interest, fun, and challenge for students.
