Greetings Teams:
We are excited that registration for the 2006 FLL season is right around the
corner - we hope you are too! We know that many of you have product and pricing
questions, and hope you find the following helpful.
Please note when registration opens in May, you will have the option of
purchasing either the existing (MindStorms RCX) or the new (MindStorms NXT) FLL

own.
We hope to see you all in 2006!
