So In other words the school will feel better if there is a book? <Insert cynical laughter here.> Sorry for the digression, I've been a part of the school system too long .

I don't think there is a robotics text anywhere on the planet for the secondary level ... that really is how advanced and cutting-edge you are. I'm sure you can find general technology texts that may include a blurb or single chapter on robotics, but that's about it.

Perhaps you can print out all of the pages of the curriculum and put them in a binder??? ... whoops, sorry...more cynical behavior.
