I'm hacking Bangood's $12 D2-6 robot kit to make it Picaxe-controlled: https://www.banggood.com/D2-6-DIY-5...ing-Tracing-Obstacle-Avoidance-p-1108390.html
IMO the kit is a great value as-is, it has line-following, obstacle detection and Bluetooth/smartphone remote control. It works as advertised, comes with a 16-pin STC15W201S microprocessor. Surely reprogrammable by someone with more time than me. But I'm taking the direct path and swapping it out for a 20M2, which has a few extra pins to add a beeper and an IR sensor. The board has header pins which make it easy to access all the connections.
I've just started but I figured I'd mention it now since they are on sale for $11 for a few more days at IC Station. http://www.icstation.com/bluetooth-remote-control-smart-suite-tracking-kits-p-10171.html
Obviously there's some effort involved, but I think the end will justify the means. There are 3 SMT chips in the stock kit to solder, two 8-pin H-bridges and an LM339. Also an AA-sized 14500 Lithium-Ion battery is required. Obviously the whole 20M2 module must be fabricated.
