We heart the aluminum kit. Any chance of selling the aluminum parts separately, or in smaller kits? Not to inflict a bunch of new SKUs on your inventory system, but aluminum is the way to go for complex robots that don’t collapse the wheels…
(For the younger students out there, no, we have not collapsed any wheels. It was hyperbole.)
The day after the aluminum kit came out I called and asked them exactly that question. Their response was they had no intention of doing so in the near future. I’m with you in absolutely loving the aluminum parts, I hope they change their minds eventually.
freakin awesome
i wish we could have gotten this earlier tho…
our robot is really weighed down by the steel
do you mean british not briddish
As long as you are being pedantic, it would be “British.”
i also have to say that the aluminum parts are great. so much lighter…
The alluminum parts are great but they are expenisve and when you have the cheaper steel and not weigth limit I don’t see any reason to build the enitre robot out of aluminum. Maybe an arm since you would want that light but nothing else.
The aluminum kit is great and all, but all the parts come in odd sizes and you hate to cut them because they cost so much. You would have thought that VEXLabs would have made an aluminum kit with the same sized parts as the normal steel one(ones that came in the starter kit)
