Thanks for the link. From looking on the GEARS website, it appears that
the GEARS electronics controllers are Parallax technology, which is what
we are already using. But it might help down the road to know of another
accessories vendor.

About two weeks ago I submitted a funding request to UAF's Technology
Advisory Board. If that goes through, we should be getting two LEGO NXT
2.0 kits, plus a bunch of accessories (motors, gyro sensors, touch
sensors, and such like).
