I'm talking about stuff like this:
http://www.legoeducation.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=814
$1250 for the start-up pack, which is for eight paired students.
The Team Challenge with USB set is $200, and you get four of them. That's still
just $800, so there's another $450 worth of stuff. 4 extra motors, 4 extra
rotation sensors, and a temperature sensor add up to about $175, so that leaves
$275, which must be for the software.
That's the point I was making . . . the ROBOLAB software in those sets make them
cost more for schools. However, it has a site license, so maybe it's not so bad
after all.
