I like it

I disagree about the EDU kit. I've seen a lot of people express negative opinions about it here, but I don't know how the kids would have finished without it. The real robot is not quite ready to roll yet, so they've spent the last four weeks developing and debugging their autonomous code with the mini-bot. All signs point to it scaling nicely to the real robot.

It was a major PITA to get it together, but mostly because of poor planning. I would much rather chase a 2 lb. robot around a 1/3 scale course than wrestle with a 100 lb. robot. I give it a B.
