Help Getting Started with VEX programming.

[Joe Johnson]

Hi All,
I own an early VEX kit from before they were programmable. It has been a while but I am finally to the point that I would like to try out some of the programming aspects of VEX but, frankly, I don't know what I need to get started.

I am thinking I will want to try EasyC not because I can't do C/MPLAB but because I was impressed with the work I saw some kids on Chief Delphi's team did with their FIRST robot and I thought I would like to see what are the limits/capabilities of the software.

So... ...what do I need and where can I get it? If software/hardware is required does anyone have a setup they are willing to part with cheap?

Thanks in advance for the help.
