Any spare Penguin kits (un-built) out there? (Will trade for a full DracBlade kit)

I missed out on the recent batch of Penguin kits w/rework kit. If anyone has a spare (un-built) Penguin kit (silver, black, or red) I'd be interested in trading it for a full un-built DracBlade kit. When I built my DracBlade I picked up an extra board and full set of parts to build up an extra one.

So, If there is anyone out there that would like to build a DracBlade (and have a spare penguin kit) I've already done all the work of chasing down all the parts needed to build the board.

Just send me a PM if interested.

Robert

    I'd also consider trading my full DracBlade kit for an assembled Penguin robot. I'll also include one of the new bank switch adapter kits as shown in the thread here:

    One of the pictures shows what an assembled DracBlade looks like with the bank switch adapter installed.

    I don't know if you still want a penguin, but:
    I have both a clear/silver assembled (rework performed) and black unassembled (rework not performed) penguin that I am done with. I don't need a DracBlade, but I do need to fund my UAV senior design project either by trades or donations.

    XBee Pro (>1mi range) parts. Radios and adapter boards are welcome
    USB or DSO oscilloscope

    Hey Robert,

    I kept a few of these for key customers (that's you). Whenever we discontinue a product I usually hoard (like erco) the remaining pieces, or at least as the Tech Support guys to keep a dozen units.

    Drop me an e-mail on Monday with your color choice and I'll see what I can provide. Oh, and make a donation to your favorite charity after I confirm that I have a Penguin.
