American high schools have so much more then here in Canada. Im jealous, but at the same time wondering why you need to have all the extras, especially when your government has no money... But I don't know

They are used in our 11 and 12 robotics class. They spend most of there time sword fighting and playing checkers. Unfortunately they are highly proprietary making them a pain to program and we cannot afford to break anything.
We are a public school in Toronto, Canada. The arms were graciously donated to us (there's a rumour that it was in someone's will). We are the main robotics school in the district so we get a fairly large amount of funding but not every robotics program in are district gets adequate funding (cough..1310). We will be running them during a open shop day next year if you want to check them out.
