[Princess Auto] VEX Robotics Controller at Princess Auto

I don't know who would really care about this.... but at the Princess Auto in Barrie, Ontario this morning I spotted this in the the surplus section for $12.95. There was nine of them when I left.

Just putting it out there......

Wow, that is a great price for a 6 channel transmitter / receiver, not a futaba of course but what more you can ask for $13... but I'm too far...

Would you be willing to buy one and ship it to me?

I am not having any luck getting Princess Auto to answer the phone. Their 3 week sale started today. I will have a look for the part number Wednesday.

Surplus means ltd qty's so if your in on this move fast. Is there any way to interface this controller with your wife so you can maybe get her to do what you want???

i saw at least 10 at the whitby, on store. the receiver looks specially made to interface with their robot controller. It has a single phone jack style jack. It looks like it may be difficult to get it to control a servo. perhaps you can use it with a different receiver though.

now if you have a vex robot kit its probably well worth it since they retail for $129 us.

If anyone has found them in Calgary, let us know. I went today, and couldn't find any.

Aha, Futaba, just reminded me my remote controller when I built my first model ship, some 25 years ago ...
