RIS 1.5 and 2.0 can be found for between $150 to $200 on eBay if you are
patient and ready to pounce on a good auction. I have bought and sold 2 sets
2 different times on eBay. It's been my experience that a lot of neat "toys"
& kits can be found on eBay just before and right after Christmas.

Also, you might want to check out the BoeBot at Parallax. From time to time,
Parallax itself also sells refurbished kits at a discount on eBay. My
dealings with them have always been top notch.

Other places to begin looking are:

www.budgetrobotics.com
www.acroname.com
www.lynxmotion.com

The list goes on and on ... Gordon McComb's book Robot Builder's Sourcebook
is also a great place to begin looking and is just fun to flip through!
Which reminds me, sometimes you can find a robot kit at Borders or
Barnes&Noble for about $99.00 .

Hope that helps to get you started !
