Raspberry Pi, that is. Following a chance encounter with the man from Robobo at a Christmas party for startups at Innovation Warehouse,
TwoTen commissioned a piece of work to see if the Raspberry Pi would be
able to meet the core technical requirements for the Cube. And it does!
This is great news for us – it means that we can prototype easily,
scale easily and work with well-understood, well-documented hardware and
an operating system, Linux, that’s very close to the one we use on our
servers (and our laptops, in case you’re interested), which makes
adapting the TwoTen technology much simpler. The slim rectangular shape
of the Pi board will also help the Cube to be more flexible, helping to
achieve our soft child toy feel.
