TI Robot Eval board kit for $150

If you haven't seen the video about the TI Robot Eval Kit you will might be impressed with what looks like a lot of functionality for a good price. The robot is based on the ARM Cortex M3 microprocessor but more details can be found in the datasheets. The robot kit also seems to include the uC/OS-III real time kernel operating system.

So, now I'm wondering how this stacks up with the Actel SmartFusion device which contains a ARM Cortex M3, an FPGA, and a programmable analog front end with ADC and DAC. The uC/OS-III also runs on the Smartfusion. The other question is how does the robot kit compare with the Lego Mindstorm NXT robot kit. So much cool hardware and so little time.
