While the service has been good at RobotShop.com, it's not without its frustrations. Have tried to request changes to get available inventory, but by the time they respond, the pieces are on backorder. Finally told them to drop all the backordered components for now, but they also changed my shipping to UPS Ground instead of 2 day air.

Bottom line, motor controller has finally shipped, but not expected to arrive until Wednesday (4/1) now. Hermes sits, still immobile and unpowered.

Beginning to scope out the next order for some ultrasound sensors, light sensors, not sure what else yet.
