Re: Vex Vs. Edubot Vs. RCX Vs. NXT

Last weekend I actually went out to RadioShack and bought some Vex stuff after learning that it was still in stock, and still at half price. It's better to buy it now while you can still get it at the lowered price.

Here's a picture of it all:



Shown in this picture is:
1 Starter Kit
1 Programming Kit
1 Hardware and Metal Kit
1 Tank Tread Kit
2 Servo Kits
2 Motor Kits
2 Light Sensor Kits
1 Ultrasonic Range Finder Kit

Since they didn't have any of the battery kits in stock, I bought some rechargable NiMH batteries. I just wish I had enough for the transmitter, because the cheap batteries I used for that died out within 5 minutes of use. Now I'm just playing around with autonomous and plan on making a robot that has the same characteristics as myself (i.e. hates the light and always travels towards darkness) until I get some more batteries.
