TI-RSLK MAX (Update to the TI-RSLK)

21 Aug 2019

Well, they did it again, TI and DR. Jon Valvano have produced an update to the awesome TI-RSLK kit called the TI-RSLK MAX which now reduces the amount of soldering needed to assemble the kit. It also includes a modified version of the Adapter Board as well as two smaller boards for the bumper switches and Sharp IR sensors.

The TI-RSLK MAX is listed as being shipped this August, so hopefully it will be available soon. I know some folks that will be very happy about the reduction of needed soldering.

Update 08222019

Info from the TI Community forum

The kits will be available for purchase on ti.com store next week Aug 28th.
The cost to purchase will be $109 ( we have made this solder less and also added the encoder to the robot).
The TI-RSLK MAX will be one base kit with the option to purchase other components and accessories directly on ti.com.
