Look at my loot...

It was my birthday and those who knew about it got me some wonderful robotic goodness from VEX labs. The pictures of my unveiling are below.

This is a great prototyping kit. It will allow fast building of your robotic dreams without the fuss of dealing with machining your own parts. It will also allow you to expand out of the confines of the vex kits and use off the shelf parts. Normally this would be quite an investment, however radioshack had been running a 50% off sale for the last 2 weeks and the loot was obtained at quite a steal (thus the legal use of the term "loot").
