Criteria: expand to read  collapse-------------

• Basics:
  1. Below $500 per set for basic projects. (MUST)
  2. Ease of mechanical building. Prefer no soldering.
  3. True Programming interface, such as C-compliance or C-like, maybe Java-based. Can be GUI-based. (We use  Robolab, as it highly resembles the industrial engineering software LabView.)
  4. Parts Reusability.
• Advanced (more specific):
  1. Expandability. Ease of parts searching.
  2. Electronics
  3. Capability for doing more precise math calculation, such as floating points calculation.
  4. Capability of multi-tasking.
  5. inter-robots communication
