CBA Robot on ebay

A CBA robot is up for auction on Ebay and needs a home:

I own one and like it. The BS2e has a bit more space than a BS2 which is handy and it includes encoders too. Too bad it doesn't include the line following module which is a nice feature.

I sold my unbuilt CBA kit to Br'er Whit 3 years ago:

The seller wasn't getting any bids and kept dropping his asking price. Eventually I made him and offer of $37 and he countered with $40. So I scored a BS2e OEM board, two 7.2 volt CR servos, and wheel encoders for that price. I don't need another CBA robot, but the BS2e will replace the Board of Education on my 4x4, as that scratch pad RAM will come in handy. The wheel encoders will be used with my Boe-bot, and the CR servos will find a home in something or other.

You are commended for giving a homeless stray a new home!

The bot arrived yesterday and was working pretty well during initial tests when the board began to malfunction as described in this thread:

I still have the CR servos and wheel encoders, but something went wrong with the control board leaving me flummoxed. Too bad because the board was destined for my new plywood 4x4.
