Re: Materials for a robotics class of 30
Thank you to everyone who has given input so far. This has given me some good ideas of where to go from here. I agree that Vex seems to be an easy to teach and easy to learn, and highly engaging system. I like what's included, but I also like the more advanced parts, which of course cost more. I have been informed that I may not receive any materials at all for this school year, but I'll still be putting a budget together. We'll see how it turns out.

If anyone else still had ideas of useful kits/lessons, etc, please do feel free to share.
