Hi All,

My team's sponsors are offering to buy us an additional robot this year.
 It'll be our second year as a team and this would be our second robot.
We have to choose between getting a second NXT2 or getting the new EV3.
 The pros of getting the NXT2 is that we'd then have to of the same kits
that we could use in parallel and interchangeably. The pros of getting the
EV3 is getting the latest and greatest and setting us up for future work.

Can anyone with more experience in FLL than we have come up with a good
reason to go either way?  Is it really that great a benefit to have two
robots to work with?  Is the EV3 so much better?

One other point to consider: our team is pretty much 13 and up so probably
winding down our time as an FLL team, but  our equipment will probably be
passed to a younger team at some point.

Thanks for any advice
