Clone or not?

Hello

I had a Arduino Mega Clone before but it is sadly broken:'( (http://bit.ly/dipERZ)

That's why I need to get a new one. It should not be a Mega again because it is too expensive: D

I've looked at this clone: http://bit.ly/b00Vr8
But i have been afraid of clones is lower quality than the original Arduino.

Should I be worried about buying a Roboduino? Or is it similar to the normal Arduino Duemilanove?

Thanks for your help?

You can trust Mike Mc (I think that is the Earthshine guy if I recall correctly) . He is not allowed to call what he sells a true Arduino because the Earthshine guys either MAKE them or resell the freeduino type clones. It is a requirement of the original Arduino Team that "clones" NOT be called Arduino... since ONLY the true ARDUINO approved boards are made by (or with the approval of) the ARDUINO team.

For all practical purposes, they are identical in everything but the name.

So... like I said... you can trust them and you should have no problems.
