AlphaBot, Basic robot building kit for Arduino

This kit comes with controller board UNO PLUS, AlphaBot robotic platform (line tracking, obstacle avoidance, speed measuring, IR control), and ultrasonic sensor.
While utilizing UNO PLUS as controller board, this kit is based on the Arduino software/hardware open source platform. Combined with the modular design, its an ideal platform to get started with Arduino robot.

UNO PLUS Features
UNO PLUS is a development board compatible with the Arduino UNO R3, an improved & enhanced alternative solution for Arduino UNO R3.

UNO PLUS UNO R3 Remarks
Operating voltage 5V/3.3V 5V Dual voltage level to support more shields
Reset Lateral Vertical Lateral button is easier to use when connecting with shield
Bootloader switch Yes None The board can be configured to run program immediately when power-up by the switch
USB connector Micro USB USB Type B Micro connector is more commonly used, and shields wont be blocked anymore while connecting
DC jack Low profile Normal height Shields wont be blocked anymore while connecting
Power output header Yes None
Providing 5V/3.3V power output OR common-grounding with other boards
3.3V power output 800mA Max 150mA Max UNO PLUS features higher driving capability
Oscillator Crystal oscillator Ceramic resonator Crystal oscillator is suit for applications where accurate clock reference is required
ADC channel 8 6 CFG used as ADC6 by configuration, and ADC7 from the Reserved PIN
Connecting with prototype breadboard Supported Not supported Solder pads is provided for DIY interfaces to connecting with prototype breadboard
USB driver Compatible with all main systems Doesnt compatible with WIN7/WIN8 Express Edition Driver will never failed to install thanks to the onboard FT232
Firmware fixing Supported Not supported Firmware can be fixed by using the onboard FT232, no extra programmer is needed

AlphaBot Features
Raspberry Pi/Arduino interfaces, works with either one separately, or both
Arduino extend header, supports Arduino shields
Modular design, plug-and-play modules like line tracking, obstacle avoidance, speed measuring, etc. eliminating the trouble of connecting mess wires.
LM298P motor driver with diode protection circuit, more safety
LM2596 voltage regular, provides stable 5V power to the Raspberry Pi/Arduino
TLC1543 AD acquisition chip, allows the Pi to use analog sensors
