Re: Build a robot with a $1000 budget

Wow guys, thanks for all the suggestions and replies. Really didn't expect this. I could probably get one victor from my team. I'm guessing two motors would be enough so that leaves one more to get. If anyones team is willing that would be wonderful! (or any other parts at that)

The IFI controllers is also a good idea. I know I have our old 2008 (our rookie year) control board locked up in a cabinet. Only problem is that it was set on fire (err...my bad) and I'm not sure if it works anymore. Ill attempt to resurrect it. If not, I guess VEX would be the way to go.

I know for a fact we have one of those from our 2008 board, assuming its not burnt to a crisp.

Thank you so much guys. I'll keep you posted on how it goes (we meet every Saturday @ NJIT)

P.S.
I am living proof of why teams should never let there programmers wire : P
