I have talked to teams who have a difficult time getting their school system or whoever to install the programmers software on computers available to the teams. Those teams have to resort to having a team owned laptop to run LabView or Windriver on and not all teams have the capital to fund that. I am hoping that by providing a netbook in the kit that it can lower the barrier for those teams in this unfortunate situation.
