Well, we just bought the Vex Robotics Kit for like a hundred bucks at Radio Shack while shopping
for some parts. Check out the video of what’s inside the kit. Apparently, they are not selling
too well at Radio Shack but the kit itself is a great deal and has lots of parts for other projects.

We couldn’t help but to open up the microcontroller box (spelled mirco controller on the box…)
and found the PIC18F8520 is powering it. I think we might be able to use the compiler included
in this kit for our Make Daisy MP3 player…
