Leggo Education Sale on Robot Kits

[LOLComets]

I came across this at Leggo Education, the NXT kit includes the rechargeable battery and that is a bargain at 279. The downside is that there are fewer parts.

Buyer beware that there is no charger and no software. A good buy if you already have the charger for the NEW battery pack (not the old grey pack) and V2.1 software.

I don't work for, nor am I associated with Leggo, but here is what the specs say, despite the warning by Dean:

This set enables students to build and program real-life robotic solutions. Includes 437 elements including the programmable NXT Brick; three interactive servo motors; ultrasonic, sound, light and two touch sensors; a rechargeable DC battery; a DC charger; connecting cables; and full-color building instructions.

My bad. I looked at the parts inventory and didn't see a wall wart. The new battery doesn't need an external converter and I mistook the charging cable as a long NXT wire.

Still doesn't come with software (education versions assume you'll get a multi-seat license for the entire classroom), but a great bargain if you already have one NXT and are looking for additional resources for your growing team.
