Innovation First certain looks to be keeping up a steady pace with its VEX robotics system, with the company now following up its recently released ROBOTC programming kit with its new VEX RCR Mini kit and a new WiFi control system. The former, as you’ve no doubt surmised, is a smaller and less expensive version of Innovation’s standard VEX system, which it thinks will be particularly appealing to students from elementary school on up. The VEX WiFi Control System, on the other hand, will apparently work with all VEX robots, and somewhat ominously, allows for “simultaneous operation of hundreds of robots wirelessly.” No word on a price or exact release period for the WiFi system just yet, but you can look for the VEX RCR Mini to be available that August for “less than $100.” [Warning: PDF Link]
