Parallax
Robotics Text Update
& Online Special
******************************
Hello All,
The Stamps in Class team at Parallax has been working hard to make the
same kind of improvement with the Robotics text as we made with the
What's a Microcontroller text in 2003. Written by Andy Lindsay, the new
text is available as a download only. You may access the download at
www.parallax.com by highlighting the Downloads horizontal menu section
and selecting "Educational Curriculum." Currently, the new text is
available as a download only. But be assured that the printed version
will be available very soon.
To clear the way for the new Robotics text, we are offering a close out
special on remaining Robotics parts and text kits (#28154) with the
Robotics text v1.5. The regular retail is $129 so we're offering them
at 50% off (just $64.50). Once we have sold out of these kits, we will
start building our Robotics parts kits (#28124, #28154) and the Boe-Bot
(#28132) with the new Robotics with the Boe-Bot v2.0. We expect the
kits to sell out before Monday (Feb. 2nd).
The Robotics parts kit and text kit (#28154) includes everything for the
Boe-Bot "below the Board of Education." Check out the web page below
for a complete description, including a picture of the parts kit.

COMPATIBILITY
It's important to know that the close out kit is not directly compatible
with the soon to be released text. To make it compatible, all you need
is the Boe-Bot Upgrade Kit (which is a collection of standoffs, spacers,
and resistors) -

BUILD A BOE-BOT
So, if you want to make a low cost Boe-Bot out of this, just add a Board
of Education Full Kit ($119) to get the necessary BASIC Stamp hardware.
Here are links to the two versions of the BOE Full Kit:

Note: You'll need to supply 4 AA batteries. (Do not use the included
power supply in #28102)
We hope you're able to take advantage of this special and/or the
revamped Robotics v2.0 text! By the way, please feel free to send any of
your comments or feedback on the Robotics v2.0 download to our
educational team at stampsinclass@p.... We count on your ideas
and support to make continual improvements to the Stamps in Class
curriculum.
Sincerely,
