Hey guys this is my first post. My son is applying to MIT and has several projects going all at once. I need assistance. We don't have any money or at least not much. He and I are getting the SOY kit and a few other things to go along with it. He has until April of 2016 to present it. Right now all we have to work with is an old 90's RAD robot. Can anybody assist us with something better with a low cost?
I don't even know how to reply to that. sigh.....
I'm being cheerful to put a smile on your face and let you know the shipping price is validated
To make sure the robot gets to you. You've also had a great experience, on this forum - including people offering to purchase components for you! I'm quite certain that you should be smiling!
@vulcangodoffire2000 It is being shipped DHL insured.... EZ Robot stuff is not cheap Chinese electronics here... About six months ago ez robot reduced their price on all of their products. The Developer's kit used to be $199 or $229, not sure. Now it is $179. At any rate when your son gets the kit you'll forget all about the shipping cost. Personally I would pay double (and almost do with the sad Canadian dollar) for shipping because I know first hand just how good this product really is... I am not encouraging this, but to be honest DJ doesn't charge enough for ez robot stuff.... Think about it.... He gives the software away for free, but the software is the absolute most important component of ez robot....
here in belgium we pay double for chipping. the was 229 dollar in the begin for the kit. be happy for you and your son.
Thanks guys....I was just stressing
So..I'm eating a little crow tonight. I ppoligize for the complaint. I expected it in a couple more weeks... it's here today. My mistake for mentioning it. My son is super excited.
Yeah, it takes a while for EZ to ship, but once DHL gets it, typically 2-3 days to the US.
I ordered an adventure bot and some parts early last week, and I ordered the 4in1 sensor from Brookstone the next day since EZ was out of stock. Sensor arrived today, and just got a text from DHL that the adventure bot will be delivered tomorrow.
Other good thing with DHL other than insurance is that you can redirect to another location the day before delivery, or have them hold it for a day. My last order I originally planned on having it go to my office, but I redirected to my home when my wife got hurt (bike accident) and I had to stay home for a week to care for her. No other shipper does that without charging extra.
