You got hamsters or something to test out the fear factor on the roller coaster or did they die in the emaxx crash.

ah the possibilities with the vex kit. If you have the programmable one and don't need it anymore, you might not just be moneyless for long...

hate to say this but the VEX kit is THE worst on the market. I was a part of 20 students to test the kit...we gave them a 5 page list of things to fix, everything from tools to better clutch design....they never fixed it. Look at the boxes...still says v0.5

They stink so bad the FIRST robotics competition dropped them after 2 years.


Back to the thread....looks sweet! when are you going to have video?!

I dont need anything but the control unit. I don't plan to use standard vex parts, since I have some home made adapters that let me plug in speed controllers and hobby servos

nice! pm me if you wanna buy it, i mite be interested in selling since so for i haven't really used it much.

and about the video, my phone is the only video camera i have so it's not very great. but maybe i could get my friend's video camera? when it's all done, i'm going to use our good camera to take good pics. Then i'll have to get a video camera to make a lil video to put on my myspace and youtube or whatever.
