As reborted in BotMag.com, Jamie Hyneman and the Mythbusters are impressed and I want one.
Jamie Hyneman: As a holder of some patents and a designer and builder of dozens of prototypes and devices, I must admit I was expecting to turn up my nose at a do-it yourself robotics kit from Radio Shack. But guess what? The VEX System kicks butt. In a total of about 12 person-hours, Adam Savage and Grant Imahara (my cohosts on MythBusters) and I were able to build a functional, if somewhat basic, prototype equivalent of an iRobot’s PackBot.
See more at the VexRobotics web site. Buy the starter kit for just $150 at Radio Shack (on sale through June 3). Invite me over to help build stuff.
