Hi everyone,
I've been in the realm of BEAM robotics for a little while know, and I've
decided to move up a step to BASIC stamps. So I'd like to know, what's your
opinion on the Parallax BoE Bot? Is it a good first timer stamp kit? What
are it's hits/misses? Anything else I should know?
Thanks for the input!

The BoE bot is what I first started out with. I think that it is a great
starting point (if you have had no previous experiences with Basic Stamps).
Also, I think that it is good because there is many text to go with it. (for
the BoE bot, and just the BoE itself) I found out though, that it would be
much easier to start out with a Basic Stamp 2 instead of an Basic Stamp 2SX
to go along with the BoE. It may just be me, but I found that working with a
BS2 is a lot easier than working with a BSX. That is just my opinion though,
I am sure many other people think other wise. All in all, the BoE bot is a
great way to start out with Basic Stamps, and robotics. (which ever way you
may want to go) Have fun!

P.S. What ever you decide, let me know how your project is going.

of great features but the only drawback i can think of is the price. I got
around that by building my own slightly upgraded version. but if u dont want
to take the time looking through an all electronics and R.S. catalogue and
pick out the parts then go for the BoE bot.
Well thats my opinion on the matter
