How much did everyone spend, and what did they get specifically?

Well if anyone doubts that this sale is worth it. I bought:

(1) Starter Kit
(1) Hardware Kit
(2) Motors
(2) Tank Tread Kits
(1) Chain & Sprocket Kit
(1) Programming Module

Cost before taxes $300 the same as the starter kit at regular price!!
(tapped into some of my Atlanta money for this)
I've got two more weeks to stock up on sensors and other goodies!

FYI to all teams. During the UTC regional we were in a pinch to correct some code. All we had was a new Dell notebook without a serial port. Well I fired up MPLabs and IFI loader and plugged in the Vex USB to Serial adapter from the programming module, set IFI loader to the correct port and it worked flawlessly. EasyC for Vex was already loaded on this notebook, so I believe the correct driver was loaded by EasyC. Simple as that.
