    Not inappropriate at all. Possibly overpriced, though. Your damaged Scribbler ships for $42, but I can get a brand new one shipped from Solarbotics for $98.

    EDIT: Just checked, and Solarbotics raised their price to $129 like everyone else. Glad I got one at $98 in January anyway!

    rogersyd,

    Just out of morbid curiosity, what did you do to the poor thing that it became an organ donor?

    I connected a LCD and a Ping sensor to the hacker port. At least that is what I tried to do. I would not have guessed that those two devices would have sourced enough current to fry the board, but admittedly I didn't read the specs very carefully before trying this out. I felt like a real dolt when I realized that I had killed a perfectly innocent S2. Perhaps ESD may have somehow been the culprit. The opening bid has been lowered if that greases the wheels at all. I promise to be more careful with the new prop powered Boe bot if it ever becomes available. The stingray is nice too, but a bit too steep for my budget.

    I do not believe that I have rights to move this thread to the right spot. It will be dead in a week anyway.
