Looks like Parallax found 9 brand new ARLO kits.

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.

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

    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!

    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.ArloMod.jpgArlo.jpg

    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.

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

    Very cool but way outside my price range.

    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. :smiley:

    It was only $700 during the recent sale :wink:

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