I was helping a friend with some ideas about how to use the S2 Robot in a Middle School S.T.E.A.M. program (the "A" for those who don't know is for Art). Look at this list on video alone! And I promise - there are many more! COME ON S3!

    Was it 2010 or 2011 when S2 came out shortly before Christmas and we were all like giddy kiddies waiting for our shiny new bots?

    Green is the color of the S3, sure would look nice under the Christmas tree!

    Nice Collection Whit, The S2 is awesome!
    You can add this video showing off the super cargo carrying capacity of the S2...


    Dear Santa, I would like a green Scribbler 3 for to circle my Christmas tree on Christmas morning.
    P.S. Please give one to my friends Whit and erco too.

    It's the dragging PCB that really pulls that video together, Dude.

    @Publison - No problem Jim! It was a fun search.

    @erco - Just the video I remembered!

    @zanadu - that is a cool video! There are some great LED Lighted Christmas Tree kits too!

    I can't be the only Forumista who nabbed two of the Velleman Christmas Tree kits last year when the 'Shack imploded...

    Is the S3 supposed to be available before this Christmas?

    @erco - I missed the deal at the Shack - This one is a bit more expensive, has some neat features and is more 3D - http://www.banggood.com/Christmas-Tree-LED-Flash-Kit-3D-DIY-Electronic-Learning-Kit-p-1007523.html Great talking to you last night pal! Sent you some info via Facebook Message and will PM you too.

    @David - No promise or hint that I know of from Parallax on an S3 release date - we are all just hoping for some "green" under the tree! If you have not followed the threads about the S3 - it promises to be a substantial update of the S2 - which was one amazing robot!. S3 should be fantastic in many ways - especially as regards hack-ability, recharge-ability and DESIRE-ABILITY!
    :D

    As Whit said, we are awaiting word from Parallax. We WILL get the S3 before the P2! :)

    It's fun to dream about S3's for Christmas. A limited preproduction run would make them the Furby of Christmas 2015. Now who's been naughty and who's been nice?
