You should be going "Love AM, lets buy there. Sigh AM is out, let me look at VEX they support us too. Really, No stock?. Hey RC at Westcoast? In stock! Ship it" Yay us, doged the weird overseas groups and E-Bay. "
I have a serious robot crush on AM and VEX (the restraining order gets lifted next month). I'm excited to see new suppliers that are robot friendly, I try to make sure they are all aound next year.

Same here, I go AM first, as if it gets out the door in the morning I usually have it the next afternoon. Vex takes longer, obviously, so they are my second choice.

Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. - MikeDubreuil [more]
