Advice to make a Robot

Hi,

I am intereted in making a Robot with my daughter.

I have seen the Grove system and it seems easy to connect sensors. But I need some advice for my project.

  1. Seeeduino V3.0 (Atmega 328P) vs Arduino UNO

Is Seeeduino fully compatible with Arduino One?

I want to use any graphical programming environment like (Modkit or MiniBloq) , So I wuold like to avoid any incompatibiliy between Microcontroller and the graphical interface aplications.

2) Choose a Motor Driver

Here again a have a new doubt … My options are

a) Arduino One (or Seeeduino) + 2A Motor Shield For Arduino + Grove - Base Shield

b) Arduino One (or Seeeduino) + Grove - Motor Shield

c) Rome All in One controller

What is your favorite option for a small Robot Project (Object detection, line finder, etc…)???

Important: I have an old Robot project and I want to use the mechanical components (Chasis, 2 wheels and to motors). I have planned to use a 9V battery for the Microcontroller and Shields and 4xAA battery for Motors.

using Option b) I dont have clear if it is possible to connect 4xAA battery to Motors and 9V to Electronic devices.

Any information will be apreciated. Thanks in advance
