It's much better to have 1-5 robots, with the students involved working as a team, than 20 individual robots.

Actually, the 20+ kits are not mine. They were bought by a school district in a nearby city, and were intended for a dozen teams at the area high schools. Our team of 4-8 kids has 2 kits + peripherals.
