How to Get a Handy Board
Authorized Vendors
Authorized vendors are required to maintain stock of their products
for immediate delivery, and establish and maintain an exemplary
customer service record.
Here is the current authorized Handy Board vendor list:
-
Gleason Research, an
authorized supplier of assembled/tested Handy Board systems and
sensor/motor kits.
-
Patrick Hui/The Robot Store,
based in Hong Kong, offers Handy Board kits and assembled systems.
- Active Robots is an
authorized supplier of Handy Board systems in the U.K.
-
robot-Oz is an authorized supplier
of Handy Board systems and kits located in Australia.
-
Douglas
Electronics is an authorized supplier of blank Handy Board printed
circuit boards and Expansion Board blank boards and full kits.
-
Acroname Electronics is an
authorized distributor of unassembled Handy Board kits.
I request vendors to provide me with sample copy of their
manufactured Handy Board for review:
- Gleason Research's
Handy Boards use all recommended components. Handy Boards are high
quality with excellent assembly technique.
- Patrick Hui/The Robot
Store's Handy Boards are high quality with good assembly
technique.
When comparing prices, keep in mind that Hui's Handy Board base
system does not include the following, which he instead offers as
extras: nicad batteries ($20), underneath-the-board battery case ($5), or DC adapter ($5).
- Active Robots re-sells
Patrick Hui's components and systems.
- robot-Oz re-sells Patrick
Hui's components and systems.
- Douglas Electronics
produces high-quality PCBs.
- Acroname Electronics kits
are of excellent quality.
Please contact Fred Martin
regarding any criticism or praise of the authorized vendors’ service.
Thank you.
