Re: Vex programming kit finally available??
You should order Vex Robotics Kits and add-on kits from Radio Shack's online store. DON'T waste your time, money, and gasoline driving or taking buses or trains to walk-in stores. I checked two walk-in stores and they don't have any Vex kits.

Re: Vex programming kit finally available??
Just in time for the Vex season too. Hummm....
Anyway, I think you all will like easyC. It really is easy to use. Within a few minutes, most people should be up and running with some nice auto programs. I learned to use it on a trip in the car from Manchester NH to Battlecry 6. |
Re: Vex programming kit finally available??
You don't need to waste gas driving to the store only to find no Vex products. Simply use the store locator on the radio shack website. It will find the closest store to your zip code which has the products in stock.
Also, store supply isn't entirely based on geographic location or region. Stores receive their inventory based on previous sales volume. If you want your local store to stock lots of Vex components, you need to purchase them at that store. I know it sounds "Catch 22", but the local store 5 minutes from where I work has already sold 3 or 4 Vex starter kits (one to me!). They are now considered a "high volume" store for Vex, and they receive new Vex product before most other stores. It probably doesn't hurt that I've also purchased extra metal kit, 2 omni wheel kits, wheel kit, gear kit, chain and sprocket kit, motor kits, limit switch kit,.... You get the picture! I'm sure they'll have the programming kit this week, and they'll have one on the counter waiting for me along with any sensors that have been released. Capitalism at its finest. |
Re: Vex programming kit finally available??
I was informed yesterday that the VEX programming kit with EasyC is finally available... If you are part of a school .../educational entity it can be ordered (shipping is free) for 10% off... also available is the line follower
the other kits (light sensor/encoder/sonar) should be ready next week... we shall see how well it works.... thanks B |
Re: Vex programming kit finally available??
I spoke with the store manager near home and they expect to have the programming kits in stock by the end of the week!
Wohooo! :) can't wait to see that this baby can do! |
