There seam to be an echo of "where do I buy Picaxe", especially from newbees from the US.

Well - let´s make some web-shops happy out there, I entered picaxe.co.uk (http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/), looked under "distributors" and found this most likely not too recently updated list:

International Distributors/Resellers

Simple test with PICAXE and a monster truck

Just tried out controlling my radio controlled monster truck with the picaxe. It's a simple test run of forward, turn left then right and then stop. I put the car in a spot that almost made it reach the bathroom :-). Notice how the breadboard almost flies off when the car turns... a really solid construction! :-)

I'm looking forward to making something useful out of this car... it can go pretty fast!

Dang! I can't seem to embed video in a blog post???

I have started working on a new robot that is mainly based on LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. This robot is aimed at participating in DTU robocup 2008 but time will tell if it will be finished in time. Anyway in robocup the robot must at least be good at following a black line and preferably it should be able to accomplish other of the tasks at hand as well, and this is just not feasible using the standard LEGO sensors and the very limited number of these it can use at one time.

On Picaxe: sound 1, (110,3) is NOT a good idea, you should allways write sound 1, (110,3) low 1 (you do not need line breaks, just write it as above)   Being used … Read more

Should I go for Arduino or Picaxe for my next robot?

Let´s compare:

Scalability:
******************
Picaxe run on many different chips, all from the company called Microchip.
They range from 8 to 40 pins, and is available in surface mount as well as ordinary housing
Many different pre-made project boards are available, and not only those made by "The Picaxe-people"; Control 3 servos and some ins- and outs on something smaller than a machbox, at a very small price, and up to large 40 pins projects.
