Yeh, 200 parts for $60 isn't all that great of a deal. Actually, the
pictures make it look like the kit is just a big computer/motor brick with
wheels.

However, I've got to admit the three-spoked wheel looks pretty cool!

I have a hunch that there might be something else in the works, because
Target had a panic sell-off of all their mindstorms kits at $99. They know
something! And these spy-bots are clearly not going to affect mindstorms

That's the hunch I had. Boy, I wish I could land one of those $99 kits.....
