Re: Innovation First acquires Vex from Radio Shack
I, too, am glad to see IFI pick this one up. They did great with the Edubot, then came the Vex line, which was a great improvement in both cost and user-friendliness. (After all, when everyone has the same controller, life gets so much easier...and besides, the Mini RC alone is $250. Fifty bucks more for a radio and a bunch of hardware is a steal.)
I can't wait to see what all those crazy Texans will do next--but whatever it is, I bet it'll be awesome.
