For this course you will need a Scribbler Robot (base) and the IPRE Lancet Fluke (control card). They are sold (new) on Amazon.com by Georgia Robotics Inc. Link to the fluke: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001LEMA66?AssociateTag=georgiarobotics-20 Link to Robot: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001G47BWO?AssociateTag=georgiarobotics-20 Note that currently the new Robot and fluke both cost $199.99 on Amazon! Luckily for you, we have a discount code that allows you to purcase both for a greatly discounted price of $180 total! (See bottom of this message.) In addition to the Robot and Fluke, if your laptop does not have Bluetooth built in, you will need to purchase a USB bluetooth adaptor, such as this one: http://www.buy.com/prod/usb-bluetooth-dongle-adapter-100m-version2-0-edr-class-1/q/loc/101/210727990.html Amazon also has the class textbook avaliable for $18. Purchasing it when you buy your robot allows you to have a hardcopy of the textbook and consolidate orders: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1607028832/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller= I also suggest that you purchase 6 or 8 rechargable AA batteries (the robot takes six) and a battery charger.

ALSO: Remember to select "Free Super Saver Shipping" if you want to save money on shipping. Your total cost for a NEW robot and fluke should be: $179.99 If you are spending more than that, you either forgot to select super-saver shipping, or failed to enter the discount code! Jay
