Abibiman mma a wɔn anigye robot ho, yɛnkambom!

That's how you say, "African robot enthusiasts unite!" in Twi, one the main native languages in Ghana, a vibrant nation of 25 million people in West Africa.
Roboticists there and in the United States are launching today an initiative to enhance robotics education, research, and industry in Africa. The African Robotics Network (AFRON) wants to mobilize a community of institutions and individuals working on robotics-related areas, strengthening communication and collaboration among them.
"There are many robotics activities emerging in Africa," says Ayorkor Korsah, a professor of computer science at Ashesi University, in Berekuso, a 45-minute drive north of Accra, Ghana's capital. "Our goal is to highlight, enhance, and provide support for efforts in different parts of the continent."

Noice! Love dat... Although I'm curious about a $10 robot... dat wudda neva fly wid Digital Yard... Jamaican people chest too high

I think we should join AFRON and share our Academic/Non-Profit/Private/Public partnership model with them when it's more mature... whe yuh seh?

A $50 platform would be more practical cause the open source micro controllers and software out deh, so it would just be the hardware to build it plus a few electronic components.

Yeah me all for collaborating with my African bredren and sistren.
