I am interested in purchasing a Bot for High School students to learn coding (possibly Python). Expense is not an issue.
Can you suggest a challenging item for a Computer Information Systems Program.
Thank you
Hello @fzaso and welcome to the community!
There are lots of options of robotic kits to learn coding, here are a few:

Let me know if you like one of those options or if you are looking for more challenging robots

Make sure you evaluate the [u]Dexter Industries GoPiGo3[/u]
They have a “[u]free 45 day trial for educators (pay the shipping)[/u]”
Some of the reasons I went for the GoPiGo3 were:
- Has an active community forum
- Frequent GitHub updates to their open software shows response to issues and continuous broadening of features
- Support for WiFi lockdown environments that need local access point development environment
- Python, Java, C++ (and others) examples and coding environment
- Sophisticated examples show use of algorithms beyond sequential programming
- Examples maintain and demonstrate modern software coding standards, and language usage styles
- They have replacement parts available
- On board A2D and battery voltage available
- Use of Grove connectors / interface
- Someone already figured out how to make a GoPiGo3 ROS-node
This is my personalized GoPiGo3:
