Re: Vex programming kit finally available??

Unfortunately, The VEX Programming modules is NOT available at this date.
(September 21, 2005) I contacted RadioShack directly to ask ...(and they have pulled it off the VEX accessory page) They have also pulled the sensors off the page and they are not available either. All of this material is in their warehouse but there is appararently a difficulty in the contract between RadioShack and the software contractor... hmmm I wonder who that is? They could give NO date as to when the modules or sensors would be made available...

I would suggest we not call RadioShack yet... they have promised to call me when they are available and I will post the minute I get the message. The poor guy who takes these calls says he gets about 1 call per hour regarding this topic...

I have 17 VEX kits purchased... (most still in boxes...) It is a lot of fun playing with them... but their use for a class is very limited ... without the ability to program them...

thanks
