Anyone got one for sale?

Post by daveculp »

I was too late........ I wanted to buy a kit, decided to pull the trigger and it looks like I was a couple months late.

On the off chance someone bought a kit and never assembled it fully, I would be willing to possibly purchase it.

If it would sway your decision, Im a teacher who runs an after school robotics/maker club and have done so for 22 years (Just google "David Culp Perry Robotics") and this would be put into the hands of kids.

Thanks!

Be aware of that the new kits dont come with a printed manual (but the original was open sourced), the game controller, nor the wooden case. That said it looks like a viable kit and its best used with a keyboard for full functionality. If you want a game controller they can be found on verious websites just make sure its a 5v not 3v version.

Hi Dave,

This is Jean-Philippe, from France.

Well, I still have one complete original kit from Gigatron.
I bought it on June 13, 2020, opened and checked the package when it arrived, and that's all !

I didn't (and still don't) have any time to built it.
So selling it is the right decision.

If you are still interested, just let me know.
I can send you pics of the kit and package by email.

The asking price woujd be ... well ... original price (€149 / $175) plus shipping costs.
I noticed that you are involved in education, thus I'm not going to make any proffit.
I think it's a fair deal.

You can reply to this post (not sure I'll be very reactive), or contact me for further information via my email : jeph2276@free.fr.
