Re: Ideas for a demo bot

If you're looking to go the cheaper route, you can use VEX to make something small-ish. If you've seen any FVC robots, you know VEX bots can get to be a nice size, and it's not that hard to get more parts in case it get's screwed up. And VEX bots can pretty much be controlled by anyone. We took two to that Franklin Institute during their Family Fun Night, and all of the kids who picked up the controls loved it, even though they were just driving a squarebot across the floor.
