Here in Mississippi, there are Legos robotics competitions and clubs sponsored by Ole Miss University, and First robot (or something like that) sponsored by Mississippi State University. I recommend EZ-Robort, which is way more versatile and easier to teach and use, start robotics competitions and clubs in Mississippi and be sponsored by Delta State University, Cleveland, MS where my wife is tenured and senior faculty in the CIS Department. Then, local Mississippi Delta schools which don't have the money to buy those more expensive and difficult kits can get in on the STEM robotics wave/crave.....Cheers
