Hi there,

where's the best place to buy electronic / robotics parts here in New Zealand? I used to use Sparkfun, but it takes a very long time to ship to New Zealand.

cheers,

F.

Not NZ based but I've used Robotshop (www.robotshop.com) to buy a third party sensor for Lego NXT.
They're a Canadian outfit. Took a couple of weeks to arrive and shipping was only $8, compared to most US based organisations who seem to want to charge at least $25 p&p, regardless of how small or light the goods.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
