EDUrobotics Kit improvements

I agree, this kit needs lots of improvement. We're probably the guinea pigs for it. I was hoping that this kit would allow us to model and prototype the full size bot.

I didn't think there was enough variety in the metal parts for building up structure. You have to cut pieces to fit, leaving you with a mess of parts useless to do something entirely different.

I would rather have round holes as well. Also I would dispense with the hex wrenches and go with philips, torq or even flat screwdrivers.

The collars with the set screws are not very good and don't seem to hold well. A premade caster wheel would help. Btw, can we dispense with the big honking joysticks and use a gaming pad instead?

Come to think of it, I think the old Erector set was better and easier to work with loads of pieces in varying size and length. I don't know if the newer Meccano sets are any good.
