<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">I teach programming to Year-10 students. I want to see if I can incorporate/demonstrate programming using a robot. I see that there are "Lego Mindstorm" and "Bioloid Beginner Robot
Kit" that can be used (both costing around $500 each). If anyone has taught Robotics, can you suggest which one is a good option.
