Software for Use with Education Version
The article says "[the Education Base Set] doesn't include any programming software which is sold separately". Upon going to the site, it appears as if all they offer is the "Education Software". How does this differ from the software which comes with the retail version? —Wulf 23:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

RE: Software for Use with Education Version
The educational software comes with a step-by-step tutorial of how to build robots using specific components(I.E. Sound sensor, light sensor, motor), and of how to program those robots to do tasks.
The retail software comes with a step-by-step tutorial of how to build, and program premade robots, that often have several different components, rather than teaching the user how to apply each component.
Several other key differences: Retail version comes with more parts, but uses AA batteries. Educational version comes with less parts, but has a removable, rechargeable battery pack.
Thus the educational version teaches users how to design their own robots, while the retail version gives the user instant satisfaction. God bless, Captain Vimes 21:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Arrange and organize information better
Is there a way we could organize, title, bullet, and class the information in this document better? It seems to meander, with little organization. Perhaps a bulleted list of the differences between the educational package and the retail package would be helpful as well. God bless, Captain Vimes 21:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
