students to test it. Then you will make better resourcing decisions.
On a lighter note, be aware that this stuff is addictive. Your school might
have to send you off to a clinic or to LEGO Anonymous...:)

| (...) Yes - Technic's. There are two Lego Mindstorms sets to consider: The Robotics Invention Systems (RIS) cost about $200 each and contain a ton of Lego Technics parts, a light sensor, to 'bump sensors' (switched) and two motors. They also contain (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
