Re: Looking for collaborators

I totally agree on the difficulty of running a class on this type of budget. I've actually been running our class this way for 4 or 5 years. Unfortunately many schools are in this type of circumstance, so I want to try to design a system that can work with out the need of unreliable grants.

It may be needed for schools to have a certain lump sum amount at the beginning, but this would also need to remain somewhat low (I'm thinking <1500)

As far as the arduino boards go... I found these, (http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.ph...)_(SKU:DFR0225) )and began to use them this year. So far they work great. They have headers to connect servos, hacked servos, digital sensors, analog sensors, etc in a convenient arrangement which doesn't require cutting the leads from the motors and sensors. They also have 2 other DC motor ports for outside motors.

After adding a battery, it's pretty much ready to go. My initial thought is to add a boebot chassis and motors w/ wheels. I think it would total to ~$95.

I am very interested in the RobotC possibility. Do you know what a site license costs for a HS?

The virtual worlds seems very intriguing to me. Can Robot C work with a Arduino Leonardo?
