Re: Build a robot with a $1000 budget

Brandon,

I'd second the vex controller suggestion just because of how available they are and they're pretty inexpensive and easy to program.

For motor controllers I'd check with some local FRC teams and see if they have any older Victors or something that they'd be willing to give up. Shoot, I'm pretty sure I have one or two Victor 883s I'd be willing to give up to a good cause if I can find them.
