This should be marked (2014) as the post is last updated April 24, 2014 (and (c) 2013). Would note that several of the links to components are dead, specifically the links to microduino.cc (check this link [1] and select the 3.3v/8mhz option) and radioshack.com (the link in the series is to the pre-petition website, try this link [2] for the motor but believe it's currently out of stock).
