    The first time they were in stock, there was 48 of them.
    I was just telling my wife that the inventory was now down to 6. I thought she would be impressed by the rapid sales of this great new robot... And impressed that I had ordered mine before the first batch was all gone.

    Her comment - "The nerds must be panicing."

    As Rodney Dangerfield said, "No respect. No respect at all!"

    Doggie Doc,

    The Stingray Robot Board is the same size as the BOE and will mount on a BOE-Bot. =) Likewise a BOE will mount on a Stingray.

    Whit, say your e-mail...you know which one I mean. Thank you from everyone. And my wife was agreeing with your wife. I tell ya, ya just can't get any respect anymore!

    I am so excited about the Stingray because it is the first robot kit I know of built to use the Propeller chip. Like many others here I have been putting the Propeller chip into my robots. At the robogames this year, I don't think I saw one other Propeller driven bot. I hope this will raise awareness among robotocists. My first robot was BOE-bot, I hope many people will be introduced to the Propeller through the Stingray.

    Thinking I was confused I checked again to see if the Stingray Board would fit the BOE-Bot. After your post I can assume I made an error. You are correct, the mounts line up perfectly. Duh. What I had done was hold the SRB up to a BoE-bot chassis that I had moved the standoffs in to accommodate the SX Tech board. Silly me.

    BTW - I am really loving the Stingray.

    Yep, that would do it. The SX Tech Board was smaller, but had it been the SX Proto Boards, they too are the same size, as is the Super Carrier Board. Take care and enjoy your Stingray! =)
