New Platform Kit
After much discussion there is a new kit. The kit contains metal hardware similar to the old VEX robots and a complete NXT LEGO kit, plus a video game controller; which accounts for why the kit is so expensive.
The kit offers a full complement of parts including three software packages, 11 motors, 10 sensors, Bluetooth communications, rechargeable batteries, metal gears, and a complete set of structural components. The kits are reconfigurable and can be used over multiple seasons.
