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. The Engineers Bookstore and individual students offer used robots for sale. 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 together cost $199.99 on Amazon! Luckily for you, we have a discount code that allows you to purchase both for a 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 these: http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-v2-0-Class-Mini-Adapter/dp/B002QYBCXC/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1285333840&sr=1-5 http://www.amazon.com/ipremeirtek-BT-XSM-Ultra-Bluetooth-Dongle/dp/B001BJLKFS/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1250428604&sr=1-16 http://www.buy.com/prod/targus-usb-bluetooth-adapter-acb10us-oem-poly-bag-targus-usb-bluetooth/q/loc/101/10376108.html Amazon also has the class textbook available for $18. Purchasing it when you buy your robot allows you to have a hard copy 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 rechargeable AA batteries (the robot takes six) and a battery charger.
