Best thing I have read all day. This is so COOL! :-D

Bigger (and better) than the consumer version ?

Ray

That probably just means it will have

1. a more powerful programming environment, just like the ROBOLAB software in
the Mindstorms for Schools sets is better than the RCX Code software that ships
with Mindstorms 2.0 sets.

2. specific sets for different subjects, which is what Mindstorms for Schools is
all about.

3. a higher price -- seriously, have you ever read through a Pitsco catalog?
Some of those kits are outrageously overpriced.
