Deal on Vex!

Stopped by my local Radio Shack today and noticed that all VEX was on sale for 50% off!

Starter kit is selling for $149.98!

I bought one just to play with!

Great way to start a VEX team for next season!

Re: Deal on Vex!

Does anybody know if FIRST or VEX gives discounts on VEX kits to any FIRST FRC teams?

Re: Deal on Vex!

Someone from Radioshack called us yesterday and told us about the sale.
We had just requested information from them on the Vex and they were checking to see if we had received the information and to tell us about the sale.
