Any suggestions on where to begin?

The local Radio Shack (3 of them within driving distance) were closing... so I got all sorts of things on clearance.

You used to be able to buy the controllers via eBay for cheap too... but, I just checked and didn't see any. However, you might be able to find either a full VEX kit on eBay... or maybe buy the controllers elsewhere.

Thanks for that YT clip. I'll check it out. Maybe I can work on this after I get a few other things (aka, a job) settled.
