i got the sumo-bot

I got the sumo-bot kit from the same people for christmas. I haven't really had a chance to play with it, but it looks cool. Its a Basic Stamp 2 with a mobility base and a few sensors. Thats all I wanted, and its about half the cost of some other kits. It has two integrated H-bridge motor controls and a built-in infrared remote control decoder. There are also two infrared sensors and two CDS photocell sensors. I put it together and it zips around pretty well.

Its on sale, 40% off at BarnesAndNobel.com as part of thier post-christmas sale. I think its around $40.00 right now.

** This is the Mcgraw-Hill (Tab Electronics) kit, NOT the Parallax kit. The parallax kit is a little nicer and about twice the cost.
