Classroom Lab Kit and Curriculum

As many have noticed on our website, we are proud to announce that our newly reformulated Classroom Lab Kit and the brand new Autodesk VEX Robotics Curriculum are both now available.

The Classroom Lab Kit is an enhanced bundle package designed to address the needs of educational robotics. We’ve taken the input and feedback from teachers, students and teams to add additional parts and accessories that users have told us they want for the classroom and for competition use (over 1160 parts total - but who’s counting).

We are also very excited about the new curriculum from Autodesk which provides a great curriculum for teachers wanting either a semester long robotics solution or a modular curriculum where they can pull out certain lessons to fit into a few weeks or months of an already existing class. Also enhanced is our new Educational Resources section with free downloads of various education and competition materials that can be useful in the classroom, at home and at competitions http://www.vexrobotics.com/edr-resources/

We’re very excited about the new school year and will continue to listen to the community of schools and teams to help us continue to make VEX Robotics bigger, better and the best value around. The goal is simple - make educational and competitive robotics as educational, accessible, affordable and fun as possible. Thanks to everyone who continues to help us achieve those goals.

Very nice, and an excellent value!

From looking at the detailed photo, it looks like you’ve got a new/different charger for the NiCds. I see a small wall-wart with no dual-battery charging base. I’m guessing the wall-wart is the whole charger and is used to charge both batteries one at a time? From the itemized list, it sounds like there should be two chargers though.

Any info on the new charging system would be appreciated.

Cheers,

I just saw this when I was on ChiefDelphi, and like I said there, this kit looks great. It is perfect for us, especially since it includes the curriculum for free.
