Build Your Own Robot for Under $300

The Vex Robotics Design System (designed by Ignition, Inc.) is one of the CES “Best of Innovations” in the Robot category for 2006.

It’s time for all of us to be able to build our own robot for under $300. This kit is sold by RadioShack and includes 500 pieces, three motors, lots of gears and a lot of fun. You can make it lift, throw and race. All of this is controlled by a remote that allows you set the frequency so you and a friend can control your own robots. What’s next? Even though it doesn’t say it in the product’s information, why not tie the remote control functions into a computer for even more fun.
