www.woot.com (one day, one deal) has the VEXplorer "robot" for $79. Gone now but it will likely show up again...


It is RC controlled with a gripper and wireless camera - not programmable as shipped but looks like a nice platform for a stamp or propeller.

    Oh I have one and paid 169$ for it and I thought I had a great deal since it was labeled 199.99. The kit is really good for those that are starting and the wireless camera in which I really wanted at the time with the base was a good deal for me. One good thing is that if you want to program the VEX then just get the programmable VEX module and your all set or using your Basic Stamp2 series and add an H-Bridge controller for the DC motors and have at it. So at 80 bucks and shipping it is really worth the money even if you just want it to have some fun with it as an RC Spy base.
