<h2>Categories of NodeBots</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<h2>"Wrapper" NodeBots</h2>
<p>"Wrapper" NodeBots <em>do not run javascript natively</em>- they expose an API, in one form or another. We can take advantage of these APIs, using Node, to control the platform in question</p>
<h4>Some Notable Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li>Arduino (controlled with Firmata and Johnny-Five)
<ul>
<li>Many, if not most, forms of Arduino are supported.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>NodeCopter (AR Drones controlled with the nodecopter npm module)</li>
<li>Sphero (controlled with either the sphero npm module or Cylon.js)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h2>"Native" NodeBots</h2>
<p>"Native" NodeBots <em>Run javascript natively</em>- they do not require an external node process on another machine.</p>
<h4>Some Notable Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li>Espruino</li>
<li>Tessel</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h2>Itty-Bitty Computers</h2>
<p>These are small, usually ARM-based, computers, usually running a Linux flavor. They also include their own GPIO pins. These run Node, just like a laptop or desktop.</p>
<h4>Some Notable Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li>Raspberry Pi</li>
<li>BeagleBone Black</li>
</ul>

<h3>Notable Exceptions</h3>
<h4>Hybrids</h4>
