Good news! VEX is in stores...

Earlier there were some reports about the new FIRST-inspired robotics kits from Radioshack, VEX, not making it to store shelves. Well, in at least two Radioshacks in the Seattle area, I spotted them, and there are likely a lot more. Link.

I have seen them in my Radio shacks here in Texas for over 4 months. i also find them over rated, and over priced, but i may buy a set becuase i know someone with employee discount!

Saw them in the RS near Harvard, but oddly not in the one near MIT.
