Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge

My design was the go anywhere, see everything bot. A stair climber among other things.

I got my information from IFI on how to order and I spent a few hours with paper planning everything out. My FTC team happens to have a few Vexplorer's assembled that we're laying around so I grabbed one during lunch and looked it over and saw what comes with the Vexplorer as far as usable parts.

My order consisted of these...
----------------
The Vexplorer tank tread add-on kit (Extra traction)
Two extra Vex-Blue Vexplorer motors (Will be needing these, very useful)
The flashlight kit (To see in the dark)
C-Channel
Bar locks
A 100 pack of the lock nuts (the ones you cant get off without a wrench)
A handful of extra screws
Longer 12" shafting (2pk)
----------------
Total with shipping: $99.16

One hundred bucks doesn't go very far on the Vex site, but I'm happy with what I was able to get and I think these parts will serve my design well.
