X80 is a solid 2WD robot platform which has a unique but every effective and interesting architecture. It offers distributed platform which allows the heavy computing to occurred at the networked server/computer rather than everything in the built in computer (usually small and under powered due to the lack of space and power in the body of the robot).
X80Pro is an upgraded version of X80, it has everything X80 has plus extras of 3 more sonar sensors (DUR5200), Tilting sensor, (DTA5102), Temperature sensor (DAT5280), IR remote control module (MIR5538), IR remote controller (DIR5538), the 128x64 mono graphic display (MGL5128) and two stronger (550oz-in, 40Kg.cm) motors.
