new Mobile ROCKS(tm) added ! New frequencies, spare Motion Controller ICs


For those who already use RoboTEAM Mobile Rocks (tm), we have good news: new
frequencies and bundle packs added!

For those not familiar with the Mobile Rocks (tm) - you can assemble a
complete team of 5 mobile robotic platforms in a single day!

Remotely controlled by a human operator via joystick or keyboard or by a
computer program - use the RoboTEAM program or write your own.

Digital IDs, through-wall digital radio control, easy to modify, upgrade,
customize. Start a robotic project in style - and with a very low budget.
Possible applications:

Dancing robots
Automatically reconfigurable stage for theater/musical shows
Robot societies

Your $50 mobile platform appears to be the same thing sold by Pololu for 
only $25.

Dear Chris,

If you are talking about our mROCKS series RK315T kit ($49.95), Pololu does
not sell it
simply because it is our proprietary design. We strongly believe that there
is no other kit to
come even close to our flexible/expandable/easy and quick
assembly/solderless kits - price
and features!

If you are talking about one of the OPTIONAL spare/extra parts on our
Upgrade/Expand/Modify/Customize (your mROCKS kit) page, we do have listed a
mobile
platform (no controls) that comes with detailed step-by-step assembly
instructions, as well
as detailed instructions and parts for INTERFACING to our mROCKS series of
kits. This
kit (TMP64) includes just one part manufactured by Pololu: a round acrylic
plate sold by
them at $6.

On our Expand page, this particular item (TMP64) was listed at $38.70
(correct price). On the
item's description page, the price was (wrongly) displayed as $48.70. We
have corrected the
discrepancy. Because we understand that the photos were also contributing to
the confusion,
we have removed them and are working on a new set.

Thank you for helping us out. If you have any other questions, we would
appreciate
an email sent to support@roboteam.com.

Sincerely,
Dave of RoboTeam.com
