There has been discussion here in the past about a collaboration between Innovation FIRST and Radio Shack regarding the new Robovation kits, so I wonder if there was some truth in those rumors. If so, it'd be great to see, though I can't imagine the $500-odd price tag will do a lot to attract buyers.

I too have heard some things are in the works, but I don't think it deals with Robovation. From what I hear things will be formally announced at kick-off concerning Radio Shack.
