What I meant was that we have several hundred dollars per kit soley to buy LEGO
parts, above and beyond money spent on the HandyBoard (the microcontroller
we're going to use), sensors (from DigiKey & Jameco), and LEGO motors (which
can be purchased seperately, correct?). We're trying to keep the price under
$900 (the cost of a KIPR kit). Take away 300 for the HandyBoard, another 100
for motors, 50 for sensors, and you've still got $450 dollars to spend on LEGO
sets for parts. Come on people, this is your chance to vicariously buy several
hundred dollars worth of LEGOs!

That sounds promising, I'll have to look into it.
