How robust are the boards? I'm moving a hydroponics setup from an arduino to something more flexible, and need them to be fairly robust. I use a thick plastic case to protect them, but they will be on 24/7/7. Also, how is setting up WIFI with these? Better than the RPi?

Standard FR-4 from the looks of it, it does fit inside an altoids tin although I've not installed one due to needing to cut out the holes for the peripherals.
