Ah I still always neglect to include that *other* Autodesk software that comes in the separate package as part of the "kit". I was only thinking physical robot kit components. With that cost added in, I'm sure the value reaches or exceeds $17,000. Mea culpa.

But my comment on the scholarships still stands.
