Radio Shack and Robovation

[westfalia]

I'm pretty sure it's not a rumor at all. At nationals, I was talking to some pretty important people from radioshack. They came up to our pit and started asking me what I thought about the EDU kits. And of course I told them that I thought they were great.

So if they'll sell them in stores, I wonder if they'll take off like they did in teams. As a kit to use as a hobby, I wonder if they'll be confusing. Programming is confusing to me. I'd probably understand it given some time though.

So when will it be that we can buy our OI's and speed controllers at radioshack? I want to see that day, you know. When we tell a member of the team in week 5.75 of the build season, "hey, go pick up a new speed controller!"
