These things are definitely looking nice in my eyes, but now to raise 200 bucks. They're great for people who really don't know much about robots and such. I was actually involved in what you could call the 'child labor testing period' of the Vexplorer [j.k, I loved working with JVN to build Vexes]. They're pretty cool. I mean, what's better than being able to run into the bathroom with a little spy bot and steal your sister's cell phone or something. You know the mission was successfully accomplished when you hear a deafening scream.
I think the guys at Vex did great in accomplishing their goal of making a more 'public' friendly robot that wouldn't have people killing their robots in order to get them to work.
(NOTE: There was no child labor involved in the production of the Vexplorer, it is simply a Robowrangler inside joke. <3)
