Why can’t I just purchase a few RSC chips instead of a VR Stamp?
RSC chips are general purpose microprocessors and require programming in order to perform any useful functions. Sensory has provided a suite of development tools for the VR Stamp which are essential to writing and maintaining software programs for them. Further, the RSC chips require a few additional components to make them functional (i.e. resistors, capacitors, etc.) The beauty of the VR Stamp is that it has all of the necessary components on board already, and the programming tools are relatively inexpensive.
