Looking for collaborators

I'm looking for a few classroom teachers willing to work with me to help develop a curriculum, and associated tools for a robotics class.

I'm pretty much set on using arduino based controllers due to the relative cheapness, and growing prevalence. However I would like to also create a library header file that allows them to be used with the VEX keywords and programming technique. (The reason behind this is that PLTW is set on Vex controllers, and I would like to make this a cheaper viable alternative).

Cost is a vital principle here. I have a current robotics class, and our budget is $250-$700/yr. I know that this is a common situation for many schools, and they don't even attempt to start a robotics program. If done right this could open up a lot of doors for a lot of students in schools that don;t have this opportunity at current.

Also, I would like to figure out some hardware integration issues. Like how to create a relatively reusable set of parts.

Eventually, integration of vision processing would also be a goal.

So, I have some programming goals, and some hardware goals. Then the plan would be to create a curriculum to logically develop these goals.

If you think you can help in any way... programming help, hardware help, writing/testing curriculum, offering insight, suggestions, I'd love to hear from you. You can post right here, or PM me.
