Hi eveyrone!  A year ago, we began to play with Turtlebot 2 & ROS, and we
love it!  Over the last 12 months, we've added a lot of hardware and
software components on top of it.

We would love to share what we've built with the ROS community.  And if
you're interested in getting the same unit for your own development or
research, we're selling it on Kickstarter now.

If you're doing research in the Internet of Things & Connected Devices

As well as the remote control apps for the robot, so that you can control
the robots from your phone locally or remotely.

Of course, we'll pre-install ROS and Ubuntu on the robot.

Any question / comment / advice / feedback is much appreciated.
