I have an opportunity to purchase some additional sets for my classroon.

an extra RCX.
Please offer some advice on purchasing 4 complete RIS sets as compared to a
ROBOLAB educational pack with 4 RCX's, teacher/student resources etc.
I have not used ROBOLAB before!

| If you are doing Robotics as a long-term project, go with one Team Challenge set for every 3 or 4 students. The ROBOLAB "Team Challenge" Set is the exact same set as the RIS 1.0, except that it comes in a nice plastic green tub with good storage on (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.edu)
