Mobile Robotics Development Kit
This Mobile Robotics Development kit is a solutions kit for robotics featuring the TurtleCore. Engineers and makers can get started on an iRobot Create-driven project with the Gumstix Mobile Robotics Development Kit.
Mobile Robotics Development Kit 
The Gumstix Mobile Robotics Development Kit brings the power of Ubuntu Linux with Robot Operating System (ROS) to the iRobot Create's incredible robotics platform combining it with the WiFi/Bluetooth-enabled Overo AirSTORM computer-on-module and the TurtleCore expansion board (tailor-made for the iRobot Create).
This kit includes:
- TurtleCore expansion board
- Overo AirSTORM-Y COM
- Ubuntu System Card for Overo
- 2 USB Cable (mini-B to standard-A)
