I'm in my 4th year of teaching LEGO robotics to homeschoolers, holding LEGO robotics camps, and coaching FLL teams. Right now I have almost 30 kids in my classes, and am looking at my summer camp schedule and teaching LEGO robotics at the local U., and my fall schedule. This has me staring at my investment of 20 RIS sets and thousands of dollars in extra motors, sensors, gears, not to mention probably 50 pounds or so of extra parts. Is it all a waste? Should I sell it all on eBay? Is anyone going to be supporting LEGO RCX robotics in Education? (I've been using Carnegie Mellon, but they're off with the NXT, it appears...) Can I use many of these parts if I switch the NXT? Will any of our ROBOLAB knowledge help us with the new language? Will any of us be able to buy an NXT in a reasonable time to figure any of this out? Just wondering... Anyone have any opinions?
