I'm not upset, and we have budgeted to get another one as well. I am a High School teacher and was hoping to get one annually to supplement a new systems control class. I am well aware of costs as I have been a team leader for going into 6th season this year. I remember when there was no Edubot, all there was, was the kit of parts.
