Re: Necessary Additions to "Starter Kit"?
Two other kits are definitely required if you're trying to do any semi-complex mechanical systems.
1) Gear Kit
2) Chain and Sprocket Kit
You'll find that the gearing is quite limited with the basic kit, and the chain and sprocket setup is very nice to work with. Well worth the $25!
On a side note, the rechargeable battery packs are not on sale. However, I believe that ANY 7.2 volt and 9.6 volt battery packs are compatible with the VEX system. So, all you ex-RC car racers should have plenty of 6-cell battery packs lying around. If you do a quick search online, you'll find some cheaper alternatives for the 9.6 volt packs as well (it's used in the transmitter.)

To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring.
