Thank you for all of the information! What is the difference between the Education version and the NXT 2.0? Is there a preference from those who own the Mindstorms? I got a bit confused trying to compare to two items?

I will definitely get The Mayan Adventure. I noticed that the author has a second adventure book - The King's Treasure. It was release on Dec 1, 2009. It is the continuing adventures of the character in The Mayan Adventure.

Any insight into the difference between the Educational Resource kit and the standard NXT 2.0 would be greatly appreciated.
