go to their mini-robot controller, and also you can find the rest of the kit there. Its basically a more FRC like kit than Vex, even though Vex is the new generation of the IFI kit. contact them, im sure they can help you.
Ehh, I considered that. Problem is I don't like the general PIC setup, plus with IFI controller's you are sandboxed a good amount. I'm also looking at building a robot that will be about 3x2x2 and sturdy enough to take a good beating... you can't get that with the EDU parts.

It's also a cost of $249 for the controller. I could build a high end (for robotics) computer and just mount that for that price.
