No they just make accessories for the kit.

Their website lists the starter kit as available for purchase, as well as a ton of accessories...is this correct? or does it just redirect you to radioshack?

Whenever I get to the VEX Robotics website it redirects me to RS.

AHH because you're going to Vex Robotics. I'm talking about VEXLABS (part of IFI)

I just checked VEX labs it seems like you are right this is the first time I've seen any of that stuff on there It must be a reletivly new addition.

I know VEXLABS has been up since before build season (the link was scrolling across the top when i went to check out the traction wheels)

You can buy a kit from vexlabs http://www.vexlabs.com/vex-robotics-...system-2.shtml

Also keep in mind that Innovation FIRST developed VEX. If Radio shack does drop selling the product, I am sure that vexlabs.com will continue to sell the product. One way or another FCV will survive.

On the other hand I was a Hobby town USA last week and the store manager told me that they will be selling robotic kits soon. The more I think about it, VEX would be more at home in a hobby shop than radio shack. Think about it.... RC Cars, RC planes, RC robots. In theory they all work the same. The application is what is different...

My 2 cents.
