Re: new robot

the more information you can give on what you want, the more help you can get, do you want a simple cheap robot that will just trundle around the arena and be cheap to repair, or a big expensive complicated thing, what kind of budget do you have, £200? £250? £500?
good luck anyway

I know the price can seem steep but honestly they are worth it, all the features and the fact that you can use multiple robots on one DX6i means it is definately a good buy.
