When you register your team you should order several additional parts from the LEGO Education website: Light Sensor (P/N W779758, $16), Rotation/Angle Sensor (P/N W979891, $18), and Gear Motor (P/N W775225, $17). You will not need the FLL Robot Kit because the parts just mentioned are the key parts from the Robot Kit that are not in the Mindstorms RIS kit. In addition to these upgrade parts you will need an FLL 2005 Field Setup Kit at $50.00, but this kit can be shared by several teams practicing at a single location. The FLL 2005 Field Setup Kit is only available from FLL and should begin shipping in August or September. The instructions for assembling the challenge will be available for downloading approximately September 15, 2005.
