Necessary Additions to "Starter Kit"?

[Robots_R_Us]

Does anyone have more to add on this subject?

From the discussion, it would seem the consensous is to "buy it all" in relation to what to buy from Radio Shack's sale.

That would seem to be a "buy it because it is on sale" reaction...and not a "buy it because we can really use it" approach.

We are trying to spend our money according to a plan of what is useful...perhaps one should ask what Vex components are NOT useful?

I also wonder...how useful are the omniwheels?

Thanks for any further advice you can offer.
