Here ya go. A bit too pricey for my tastes though.

Hey,
I'm Carrie Markesino I'm a mentor on team 857. A part of our team is developing a class for incoming freshman, to prepare them for the season. We wanted to use the Robovation kit because it is more like the FIRST kit. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can buy a new robovation kit.
Thanks!
~Carrie

that is great that you want to start your freshmans off with some great kits. but here are some suggestion which might help you a bit financially, these kits are cheaper than a robovation kit and works for newbies... (i was a newbie at one point of time.) check out parallax (http://www.parallax.com/), also soldering robot kits (http://www.hobbyengineering.com/SectionRC.html) might help your newbies to learn. it is always good to start from the beginning and go into hard stuff. it might be just me that i like to learn from the beginning and then get into something more complex. there was a time when i was playing with this robot soldering kits... previously i have done the Hexcrawler project (found at Parallax), the building part of it is easy... but autonomous programming makes you think. these were just suggestions... good luck... :)

If you have the old EduRobotics kit, you can buy just the new controller for $250, or contact IFI to see if they would be willing to let you trade in your old controller for a discount on the new one.
