[chbot] Which robot kit?

[Chris Hamling]

Andrew,

Please have a look at VEX robotics they are the best being simple to
assemble, robust and mechanically versatile.

You can program them using RobotC http://www.robotc.net/ that is windows
based and has simulators. We have 10 year olds to university students using
the VEX system.

I have copied Jason Morella in on this email (the President of the Robotics
Education and Competition Foundation) as I am sure they have teams in Korea
that you may be close enough for you to visit.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply, but I am in Korea all weekend. :)

If there is a specific kit/system that strikes you as being very suitable
I'd like your opinion.

Thanks,

Andrew
