In addition to working further with the BoeBot, I've gotten some more advanced components including this breadboard kit based around the Propeller chip. The Propeller chip includes a central CPU and then eight satellite "cog" processors that can independently do tasks. And it comes in a single 40-pin DIP package that costs about $12. The cogs can run tasks at 80 MHz, allowing them to process video at reasonable resolution in real-time.
This weekend I celebrated Independence Day by putting together the kit. Here are some snapshots from the assembly process:
