Re: RadioShack-IFI Collaboration Proof?

I remember the BOE-Bot's...I remember the hours spent creating things with them that would terrorize spangler(my CIM teacher) (mike you know what I mean). We used them in our CIM class to practice with plc's. Very good kit, and highly recommended..and if you ever get bored of the stock chassis, or what not, its simple to create you own for a custom application, with a plc and a few relays, you could power bigger motors and other large current drawing devices, and you could even make from parts bought at radio shack simple H-bridge motor controllers, or take the time to make a variable speed motor controller. its easier than you think to make a motor controller that reads the pwm signal, and can run a high power motor. Just an example of how you might expand upon the kit to do other fun things.
