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.
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.
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.

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

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

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.

Strange. It said 1 when I looked.
I suspect more were found in odd corners of the warehouse.
