S2 Availability: Go North, Young Man!

Looks like S2's $99 pre-order discount price is long gone, they're showing $129.99 and out of stock.

Solarbotics (Canada) has 'em in stock for $98.95 with free shipping: http://www.solarbotics.com/products/39145

I ordered a second S2 from Solarbotics on Dec 28 and it arrived yesterday, $98.95 even: no tax no ship, no surprises.

So nab one for yourself before they're gone!

Sadly my first unit is defective so it's gotta go back to Rocklin. But at least now I have one that shows what I've been missing out on! Nice 'Bot!

    $79 with USB adapter? Smoking price, Whit! You've undone erco's deal of the day!

    Is it just me, or does that kitsusa website just crawl along? Very slow page scrolls, something's wrong right now. If anybody has a better connection or more patience than me, please investigate shipping charges & report back.

    I did not beat your deal! I just checked. Standard shipping is $29.99!!!!!!! Total is then about $110 ish. You win!

    I can't gloat in silence? :)

    Yes, I'm kinda slow & bleary-eyed this morning. A late night programming the balancer. XLNT progress, though. PID control is on the way! At least PD...

    Now that is the erco I know.

    Good luck on the balance bot!

    Thanks for the heads-up Erco. I ordered one today (1-12) so it looks like they still have some in stock at the reduced price. Looking forward to playing with my new S2!

    Actually, Whit's $110 is an excellent price for the S2 with a USB adapter plus shipping!
