Initially. yes, but this build can be controlled easily by most any system, since you just need six motor controllers that can do forward and reverse. (bucket, stick, boom, turn, left track and right track).

I'm using the Raspberry first, but I'm thinking about changing it to an Arduino setup. The kids don't like the 15 second boot time of the Raspberry..

You could also just use a normal six-channel RC radio and receiver together with six motor controllers, like three of these double ones:
- 3 x Sabertooth 2x5 R/C
