Why do all the highschool kids get cool competitions? We need robotics competitions for 50+ year-old engineers. Just sayin'. :)

- pacoWebConsult 6y agoI've been itching to develop a FIRST-like bot on my own (mostly envisioning an electric go-kart I can also hook other things onto) since I graduated high school, but the biggest barrier has always been the hardware and electronics cost. I haven't done enough research but no other robot controllers seem to have the same plug-and-play ease-of-use that the FIRST platforms do.

I think they know me by name at this point. Same with this place: https://www.robotshop.com/en/robot-parts.html https://www.robotshop.com/en/robot-parts.html
