Vex Robotics
 

RadioShack is an Official Sponsor of FIRST and is sponsoring the FIRST Vex Challange at the FIRST Championship in Atlanta this month. The FIRST Vex Challange is a mid-level robotics competition for high school-age young people. This new level of competition will offer students the traditional challenge of the FRC but with a more accessible and affordable robotics kit. A portion of all Vex proceeds goes to FIRST to help support young people's interest and participation in science and technology. For more information on FIRST, visit www.usfirst.org

RadioShack's Vex Robotics Starter Kit is available THIS MONTH! The kit includes everything necessary to build a radio-controlled Erector-set-style robot including a pro-level, six-channel radio controller, a programmable micro controller, and hundreds of nuts, bolts, gears, wheels, and flexible metal bars that you can bend into almost any shape and even cut into pieces! The Vex starter kit comes with over 500 parts! Check out www.vexrobotics.com for more info!
