did you get to see the software that comes with it ?


That information was available, they had a few sales reps kicking around but I'm afraid I didn't ask the question. The price put me off even querying the kit and there were plenty of other things to entertain me.

I remember the sign said something like: Normally $2500, now only $2300!

Bargain.

Plen was for sale at RoboGames. They wanted the rather unbelievable 2300USD for it!

They let me control it with a Wiimote. :o To make Plen prepare to skate forward, you tilt the Wiimote up. Then you tilt it left and right. When you tilt it left, the left foot goes forward, and so on. When you hold the control level, it returns to the standing position. To make it go backwards, you tilt the control down, instead of up. Also, to make Plen turn, you press the left or right d-pad button. To make Plen stop turning, you press the home button. It was fun, and I was good at it. They also said that Plen should be on the US market soon. When I was done trying Plen, the man at the booth smiled at me and said, "It's good!" Oh, and they said Plen will be for sale in the USA soon! Right now it is in the test market. How exciting!
