Specification callouts you should check before ordering
Not all kits are created equal - focus on specs that impact classroom use: included power supplies (voltage/current), compatible microcontroller platforms, number and type of sensors, battery lifetime for mobile robots, and whether the kit includes tools such as soldering irons or multimeters. If a kit lists 'compatible with' a particular board, verify connector types and voltage ranges before deploying it across multiple classes.
