In response to our earlier post about the Vex Robotics Programming kit, it seems that they may realy be available this time. Everyone’s favorite electronics (cell phone?) store, Radio Shack, now lists the item as "In stock" for website and phone orders. The word I’m getting is that it isn’t in stores quite yet though.

Interestingly enough, the image on Radio Shack’s page shows a Microchip logo with the logo for "InControl" and "Easy C", both of which I can’t find any information about on Microchip’s website. I’m assuming it’s some sort of C compiler for a PIC based processor.

I don’t currently have a Vex kit, so someone buy the programming kit and let me know how it is.
