There are curriculum ideas that can be ordered for ROBOLAB but they are
aimed at middle school students.  They can be purchased from
PITSCO-LEGO Dacta.  There are some high-school level ROBOLAB
ideas at http://ldaps.ivv.nasa.gov/Curriculum/systems.html
ROBOLAB takes a little more time to learn the ins and outs of, but you can
do more sophisticated things with it than mindstorms, and the language is
more intuitive - it is sequential like a flowchart.

Am I to assume that you prefer the Robolab software to the software that
comes with the commercial Mindstorms product? We Home-School and are
going to use Mindstorms in my High School sons curriculium. I would be
interested in any and all resources you could reccomend that would help
me prepare to use MindStorms effectively. Would I be better off using
the Robolab software If so are there any projects that come with the
software or can you reccomend any books that would hepl me with this?

Thank You
