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:

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?

Parallax has NOTHING in the Eduactional department!
