Handy Board
The Handy Board is a popular handheld robotics controller. The Handy Board was developed at MIT by Fred G. Martin, and was closely based on a previous controller designed by Martin and Randy Sargent for the MIT LEGO Robot Contest. The Handy Board design is licensed free of charge. Thus, several manufacturers make Handy Boards. The Handy Board is used by hundreds of schools worldwide and by many hobbyists for their robot projects.

The Handy Board
gollark: PotatOS uses SMT!
gollark: PotatOS is now also a sonic weapon!
gollark: So, PotatOS?
gollark: PotatOS now automatically copies onto *tapes* too! Yay, more potatoes for everyone!
gollark: <@202992030685724675> You know how you wanted files on tape for some reason? Turns out it's really easy, assuming you don't mind it being slow enough to add files that it's only useful for backups.
