Are the VEX kits worth buying?

The major items of FIRST are still what they always were.....understand the game, build a reliable quality machine to play it, train you drivers to use it to its full potential. If you do these things, you can win with or without any specific machine feature. - Jim Zondag [more]

Re: Are the VEX kits worth buying?

The kits at the stores already (yes I have seen personally 2 stores in CT that carry them already) is version .5

(Side note - It was pretty funny seeing the looks we got looking at the kit, not one time, but on 2 separate visits to the same store in one day while wearing FIRST logo plastered shirts and hats, and the second time with a friend riding a Segway in the store with us.)

What is V1.0 gonna bring? Maybe I shall wait till that one comes out till I get one... May take me that long to save up enough to get one anyways, even with the relatively cheap $299.00 price tag for the starter kit..

I want a pair of Vex safety glasses first though, but they do look like child's sizes..
