That begs the question, can we fab our own parts? I'd love to skip the NXT controller and just build an H bridge run by a flip-flop. State 0 on it would be triggered by the "launch" command from the hostbot, sending the motor forward and State 1 would be triggered by a switch on top, when the minibot hits the target, reversing the motor so that Dean Kamen won't go after my bot with a pole saw.
However, they don't list discrete components on the list. I guess that's something for the Q&A.
