Unfortunately I will not be at Championship with my team(Go Royal Assault!) to see the Vex Challenge first-hand.I am thinking of buying a kit of my own when they're available. I am really interested in your feedback.
Thanks

I stumbled on the VEX kit almost by accident. I was on Radio Shack's website looking for something else and happened to notice the VEX kit. I got pretty excited when I first saw it and started doing some research (including this forum). I went to Radio Shack today after deciding that it looked like a good deal. I picked up the starter kit along with a couple of expansion packs.
I've got to say that it's pretty impressive. They have done a great job putting everything together, incuding the packaging. I was surprised by the quality of some of the components. I was expecting much cheaper pieces.
I haven't had time to play with it much yet, but it seems like a great kit. My biggest complaint so far is that there are some add-on parts that are not available yet.
