Announcing rovercode

I'm pleased to announce the open-source project rovercode and make a call for developers!

rovercode is an educational robotics platform. It features a Blockly web app to make it easy to program and run your robot (rover) straight from your browser. Drag and drop commands to:
- drive motors
- read values from sensors
- see what your rover sees with the built-in webcam viewer.

The web app pairs with a service running on the rover. A rover can be anything supported by the Adafruit Python GPIO library, including:
- NextThingCo CHIP
- Raspberry Pi
- BeagleBone Black

Help out while you scratch a new-technology itch! We're using Docker, Django, Flask, SocketIO, Blockly, TravisCI/Coveralls, Sphinx, and AWS CodeDeploy, and we're open to your new ideas. You do not need any hardware to contribute -- we have instructions for developing on your PC.
