It uses the __Circuit Playground Express__ microcontroller, which is very suitable for people who've never built a robot before, or used a microcontroller. The Circuit Playground board is very useful for non-robot applications as well.

* relatively limited battery life (is this really an issue?)
* The battery is meant to be held between the Crickit and the platform. This means you'll need standoffs long enough to provide clearance for the battery. I only had some 10mm ones handy, and my USB battery is 21mm thick (and the solder pins protrude about 1mm from the bottom of the Crickit's circuit board. Depending on the size of your batery you'll need probably some 25mm standoffs, or make some out of long 2.5mm bolts and some copper or aluminium tubing (which you can get at a hobby store or Pete's Emporium)
* depending on your battery choice, this robot may have relatively limited battery life (is this really an issue?)
