That is a great deal. I've built these before and easily spent 500$. I think a basic stamp+controller board alone is about 75$.

Awesome deal, my local store is OOS however.

For those in Ft Worth the Hurst Store has it in Stock and you can order it online for pickup, just enter zip code 76054

Gosh darn it!!!!! Forgot FatCash!!!!

Definitely hot. The distributor's cost is already $28 bucks for the BS-2

This is cool.. I am in for one.. too bad I'd have to drive to Manhattan to pick it up.. that's another $6 toll added on top.. hahaha
Thanks OP.

does it worth the money?

it's made of plastic so it's not exactly battlebot candidate, but I think it should be fun nonetheless.

It's not plastic, mostly steel, with nylon worm gears and plastic wheels. There are two equal sized wheels on each side, and a motor for each side. One wheel is driven by a DC electric motor, and the 0-ring "tread" drives the second wheel.

If your seven-year old brother can understand assembly-language programming of microcontrollers, he can handle this. Most seven year olds can't. My son is a bright 11 year old, and it will be a stretch for him. It's rated fairly for 14+ years of age.

Oh thank you for telling me that it is for 14+! I almost ordered one for my four year old, he loves his Robosapien, and this sounded even more fun from the OPs description, so I was all set to go for it, thank you again!!

Finally picked mine up instore today. It caused the CSRs to go nuts. They all wanted one. Thankfully there were plenty left on the shelf. Note I said were. About 5 of the CSRs took one for themselves. Darn good deal. Goes for $99 on Amazon. The Stamp 2 alone cost about twice as much.
