BeagleBone Black: A 1-GHz computer for $45

I teach a beginning robotics class to local area kids. We were going to use RasPis this year but I could only get 2 of them (I needed about 10) so we ended up going with TP-Link WR703n's and arduinos instead. This actually ended up working better anyway with less hassle.

I'm hoping that BBB's (3B's?) are going to take their place in the fall. They seem much more suited to tinkering than raspis. A very exciting platform!

I've been wanting to do something similar with kids for a while. I've finally got a good hackers group going in my area, and most of the resources needed for hardware & space. Would you consider sharing some information about your class?
