New Barn Find ARLO's

Publison

Looks like Parallax found 9 brand new ARLO kits.

https://www.parallax.com/product/28966

These sold out pretty quickly when they where available.

All supporting documents, software still available from the product page.

That's exactly right, Jim.

Somebody will get a steal on these! I might have to grab a few for my personal archive before they sell out.

Nobody biting on the cheap ALROS's ?

Well.....
I know of a few Daleks who need new travel mechanisms.

ChrisL8

Oh! I need one of these! My bank account is rebelling though.

Roy Eltham

If I didn't already have 2 Arlo's, an Eddie, and another pre Arlo version, then I'd get one. The price is amazing!

Whit

Arlo is really fun to build and the quality of every part is very impressive! The motors are very quiet too. I am like Roy, I would buy another in a minute, if I did not already have one - not to mention, my smaller version m-Arlo.

I snagged one yesterday (as well as some other things)!
I gave my bothers the sumo bots I had (OG ones), so I was in need of a new land-based platform.
It was between the ARLO and the iRobot Create 2 (roomba). Pretty big price difference, but I'm hoping the ARLO is worth it.

Publison

I have one. I think you will like it.

$800 that's pretty stiff for my budget, does it vacuum the floor

David Betz

Very cool but way outside my price range.

ChrisL8

Oh I have ONE! I need another. Actually mine is pre-"complete kit" version. I had to buy my own charger, batteries, etc. So thsi seems like a bargain for all the bits that are included.

I just can't quite justify $800 for a second unit, even though I really want it.

It was only $700 during the recent sale

I'm going to have to wait for the 90% off sale.

And then there were six.

Congrats to the proud papa! Give my regards to SC!

Publison

Great news Doc!

Well, I’ve been kicking myself for not grabbing a QuadRover before they were gone, so I figured I better get one of these now. ;-)

Publison

Only 3 left, Get your ARLO before they are gone.!

Mine came in the other day - I'm looking forward to the holidays to have time to devote to it!

Ya'll grab 'em up! It's a well crafted complete kit!

That's good to know.

But there are still two at work in Pub's yard. They seem to be assembling something from items brought by them in two big bins.

Just for fun I put one Arlo in the shopping cart to see what the overseas shipping fee would be.
$655 for shipping + $787 to Parallax + VAT 24% + customs duties 1.5 % = $1815
Can I afford it?
No!

Note, I'm not blaiming Parallax, I do understand the Arlo package is heavy and has lead acid batteries limiting shipping option.

Ouch!!

There was free US shipping a while ago, I was sorely tempted!

Publison

1 left! Be the last person on Earth to get a new one from Parallax!

erco

OMG there is still free UPS Ground shipping in the US!

Page says 3 in stock... https://www.parallax.com/product/28966

Strange. It said 1 when I looked.

Yanomani

Parthenogenetic offspring?

Buck Rogers

Close.
I suspect more were found in odd corners of the warehouse.

Ken Gracey

I might just have to go grab one of those for myself, before it's too late!
