Good board to play with, but not very powerful and limited outputs
It's a cool board to play with, especially with the TFT screen attached. My complaint about this board is the lack of integration and outbound pins. I am having a hard time figuring out how to use this board to control another Arduino project remotely (which is why I bought this in the first place). This board is built to be self contained, and a lot of pins are already used on temperature sensors, gyro/etc. So if you are planning on using this board to control, say, another autonomous robot, I am not sure you'll have enough pins to do that. If you know how, please reply to this comment.The only "fun" project I found for this board was writing a small game for the TFT screen. However the screen refresh rate is so low, that any true animation is out of the question.

But, wait - there's more...
There is more power here than meets the eye.[...]It looks like a game controller, but it's useful for much more!
