i'm thinking of getting the 2.0 thingy for my b-day... i've heard they're really cool and fun (one rec' came from an EE dude who's doing robotics stuff at ucla or something), but wanted to hear any advice AT'ers would be able to give.

thanks :)

I don't have one, but if you like messing around with robotics, I've heard from LOTS of people that it's pretty good. There is also some software available on the web to build up on/customize the kit.
