Coach/Mentor Training Follow-Up

The big question at today's training was about the "blue bins" otherwise known as the "education resource kit." If you buy a robot kit through FIRST you get the base set (white bin) and the blue bin. For those who do not have the blue bin, and want one, they can be ordered directly from Lego Education here. (Product ID: W979648, price $79.95) 9648 has more of most of the parts in the base kit (9797) and a few pieces not in the base kit (like those wicked good looking, but useless, curvy claws).

It was great seeing everyone today, can't wait to see your teams!
