OMG, having the ability to buy every single piece in the Vex kits a la carte is awesome! Now, if you want to get an "autonomous-only" Vex kit, or if you are an educator and want to stock up on a lot of controllers, this is amazing! If this is any sign of future things to come, I think Vex has an amazing future ahead. Congrats IFI!
And in the ultimate sign of irony for RadioShack, I think the Vex product line will finally take off now.
