Re: Very MAD at Radio Shack
I'm not mad at Radio Shack just dissapointed. VEX is a great way to teach kids about FIRST, teach newbies about principles of engineering, and just have fun. My friend and I just bought a starter kit and some other smaller kits, but I planned on buying a programming kit, ultrasonic sensors, and the line tracking equipment. Now I can't, simply because I don't have the money to get it before it goes out of stock, and once out of stock, Radio Shack isn't replacing it.
I doubt the sudden upturn in VEX sales will convince them to continue the sale.
However, practically, even if Radio Shack does discontinue the sale of VEX, someone has to becoem the new supplier. There are too many VEX teams out there who need VEX parts. The irritating thing is that we will have to wait until the VEX kits have switched hands.
