Robotics / Coding Gift Ideas

[Anonymous No.1936360]

Hey I was hoping to get your advice.

My friend: 30 yrs old, married with 2 kids (4 yr old boy, 1 in the oven), smart guy, master in quantitative finance, phd candidate, loves coding, robotics, drones, building apps, practical guy who likes the "efficiency" of robotics and coding

He currently has a raspberry pi and learns about coding on his own time.

Gift ideas/ direction:

Arduino Starter Kits + other kits
Raspberry Pi project kits
3D printing equipment
Circuitry drawing / building like circuitscribe.com/products/super-plus-kit

Budget would be a couple hundred EUR I guess, we are a group of 8 friends (4 families) and we would all pitch in.

I know there are cool subscription kits for young adults / kids / beginners but I am not sure the value is there, they seem to overcharge for their "packaging" as I understand, and not really geared to adults.

Any ideas? or questions to consider/ ask?

Thanks in advance for your help.

get him a cr 10 3d printer or an ender 3 if you have to go cheaper, both are excellent fun and let you build whatever you want out of plastic

Why not just gift him cold hard cash?

Quality hand tools he doesn't have. The more generally useful the gift the more delighted the recipient.

Fuck off retard. He should be having more children if he is white.

If you get him the Arduino/pi boards, some basic equipment and a 3D printer, he will find things to build

It almost sounds like you are trying to make a school. If you gave a little more info on what your objective is, I'd be able to make a better suggestion.
