Anybody want to go in on a set of these?
$49 gets us 1
$95 gets us 2
$140 gets us 3.
$229 gets us 5 with the classroom 2.5gHz module (easier pairing for the classroom)

I think they'd be fantastic for on the road robotics classes or to offer to a local school for an AR visit.

I'll throw in $50 for the first one.

Oh, I didn't see that. Oh well. that's fine. We can still get a group together. I'm waiting to see if anyone else wants to go in, I'm not going to get just one, that's a small and boring class.

i am not going to say no, if you guys want to get them i think they will make great teaching tools and we can never have enough of those. But i did include the price for 6 of something similar in the Boeing ECF grant proposal which i think we still have a good chance of getting and which we should hear back about sometime this month.
