Teaching a Robotics Class

[jalmos]

My FRC team just completed our second year of FIRST and now this program is starting to explode in our community and school. I have been approved by our school board to teach robotics as a class within the school day and wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations.

I am trying to gather information for curriculum and see what other schools are doing and maybe get some tips as to what to order etc. Also it would be nice to see how I could apply this class to FRC.

I am thinking about ordering up some VEX robotic kits or Tetrix kits. Any recommendations and or grants out there? This class is being taught at the senior high level and I would like to not use Lego Robotics.

Any help would be greatly Appreciated.
Thanks for a great FRC season
