Poor Robot Value

Normally I post about smokin' hot deals on Ebay from China, but here's one at the other end of the value spectrum, this from Malaysia:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Mobile-Robot-Platform-Assembly-Kit-PIC-B-Stamp-Atmel-/350170984096?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5187d12ea0

is a $46 (delivered)·"robot kit" which is just a plastic chassis and wheels. No servos, no processor, no sensors. At least they have the good sense to mention Stamp and recommend Parallax servos!

Makes the Fry's $39 Scribbler clearance seem like an even better deal.

Got Scribbler?

    Naturally, Martin!

    FEN = New ideas = Fun Eduactional product

    Parallax has NOTHING in the Eduactional department!
