No breadboard for my board of education.
Hello everybody! I'm new to all this and I'm happy to finally got started. To be honest I'm unhappy
that I didn't start sooner with the Parallax boe-bot.
First of all, I'm from Greece. Eight years ago DeAgostini in association with Parallax sold parts
for a version of a sophisticated Boe-bot. It was very cool. It had everything. Servos, basic Stamp2,
wheels, LEDS, sensors etc. Anyway, i didn't buy all of the parts and now that i finally decided to
assemble it, I realised that I don't have the small breadboard.
DeAgostini doesn't have any parts to sell after all these years, and I searched online but I couldn't
find a place to sell the breadboard separately. It's either kit, or embeded circuit, but no parts seperately.
What can i do?

But shipping might be the dominant cost. DealExtreme has one, and their shipping is free:
Welcome to the forum, BTW!

Great forum name - surprised it wasn't already claimed. First things first, let's get your robot up and running. E-mail me kgracey@parallax.com your shipping address and we'll have our team drop one in the US Mail to you today.
There are some fellow Greek friends of yours here on the forum. You'll run into them sooner or later.
Welcome to our forums, too!

'Looks like Ken has got you covered! Is Parallax a great company or what?

I wasn't expecting such a warm welcoming!!!
All these days that I was searching the web for the breadboard and studying
microcontrollers and software I came to that conclusion before I even join the forum...
Parallax is by far THE best company!
Thanks again guys! It's good to be here!
Welcome!
Like LCD screens, the bluetooth or the IR.?
Welcome to the forum! I'm glad to seen another Greek here!
I also have some parts from Deagostini Robot.
I'm strongly recommend to keep the board and turn it into a boebot!
This Board is full compatible with all the parallax products
The only you have to do is to Buy the following parts:
1) Boe Bot Chassis
2) Polyethylene Ball 1
3) 2 X Boe-Bot/SumoBot Wheel & Tire
4)2 X Parallax (Futaba) Continuous Rotation Servo
5) AA Battery Holder
Breadboard it is not a problem. You can find larger breadboards here in Greece and you can cut them using a Dremel. I can send you one breadboard for free if you want.
P,M. me your adress and I'll send you one.

Nikos Giannakopoulos
