Tiny Telepresence Robot Is a Better (and Cheaper!) Arduino Starter Kit Than Most Starter Kits

You owe it to yourself to check out Goby, the tinypresence robot under $100 from Charmed Labs. (That's the same Charmed Labs that brought us Pixy and Vizy, making machine vision more accessible for everyone.)

Not only did they manage to cram the WebRTC stack onto an ESP32 (for excellent peer-to-peer video streaming) but it even is able to be shared over the internet with nothing more than a URL or QR code.

I'm looking forward to putting one in a course with some cardboard and 3D printed bits and sharing the URL with friends to see who can finish the obstacle course in the best time. And I'm definitely breaking out the tabletop gaming terrain.
