Here we go again with all kinds of speculation. We can never out guess FIRST. I think we well just sit back and wait. :cool: :yikes:

Just as long as the cool shirt is part of the kit nothing can go wrong.....

Oh man! If these hit shelves nationwide, it would be a huge leap for FIRST in terms of main-streaming. Viva La FIRST Revolucion!

the other part of this that is cool is that this kit will be available in every radio shack nation wide.

i trust my source but it is still a rumor till we know for sure

This sounds just like what I had guessed in my first post, and it hasn't been edited and won't be anytime soon. I feel accomplished. ;)

Looking at the webpage, though, it looks like we get to play with the kits at Nationals. This should be very interesting indeed...

Plans are in place to have a competition at Nationals...we are bringing 3 or 4 teams/groups from SC to participate. Hopefully, these sights will jump to the FIRST Robotics competition next year.

I am 80% sure I know what VEX is. From what I've heard (rumors), RadioShack is going to mass market Robovations or a system similar to it. So VEX, by the looks of it, would be it.

Anyone else notice the bump back of the release clock, by about a week.

www.innovationone.com

It is not up yet, but I have a feeling this will be the new site for VEX stuff.

Re: Anybody seen this? FIRST - VEXrobotics?

We were interviewed today by a FIRST memeber, about VEX, from what he said, it'd be it's own competitions with much less cost, $1000-2000 for the kit and about the same for entry, he said they'd be available at radio shacks, and have a FIRST flyer in them, to get people into the bigger beefier bots after 1 or 2 seasons with the little guy, sounded neat

Re: Anybody seen this? FIRST - VEXrobotics?

I have read the whole thread, but by the looks of their site, it seems that they are promoting this as a product. like x-mods, or ZipZaps.....

is InnovationOne a rip-off of InnovationFirst, or just a kind of merger?
