The XO laptop sits on a baseplate which also has 2 [http://www.robotis.com/xe/dynamixel_en motors], sensors and battery pack.
The motors and sensors interface to the XO through a small PCB, either [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega Arduino Mega] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Usb4butia Usb4butia PCB (PIC 18F4550)].
The robot's controlling program runs on the XO laptop, typically TurtleBots, the pallette of blocks is shown below. Control by programs in [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Butialo Lua] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Python Python] are also possible.
