Can you help

Belfast

My name is Pat Jamison and I live in Belfast Northern Ireland. I am hoping to purchase 40 Scribblers to help challenging students develop an Interest in Science, Technology. Engineering and Maths. Students will be aged 10-17 years. From what i have read the Scribbler is a robust unit that arrives fully assembled, only requiring batteries.

I would be grateful for any help or advice you can offer, i am particularly interested in:
1. The Battery life of the batteries, Classes normally last for 3-4 hours.
2. Would any one have any existing powerpoint presentations that i could adapt for class use.
3. Would you agree that the scibbler is the best Robot for the task, i have previously used both Boe and Summo Bots but for the most challenging students who have the opportunity to move things it is too open and i spend my time re-setting paramitors all the time.

Any help you can offer will be gratefully received. My Email addy that i am using for this project is jamiejamison@hotmail.com


Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Wishes

Pat

I would e-mail your questions directly to Parallax Tech Support (<support@parallax.com>) so they'll be seen on Monday morning. Someone from Parallax may see your question here this weekend, but that would be a gamble.

I suspect that the Scribbler would be a good choice for the younger students and perhaps not as challenging for the older students where a BoeBot with a PING sensor and servo bracket might be a better choice. Perhaps you could get Scribblers for most of the students and a few BoeBots with the PING and servo bracket for the more advanced and interested older students.
