    Hi, looking at getting Mindstorms EV3, the only one I see online is set 31313. Is this the only EV3 version or is there another?

    The cheapest I'm seeing is GBP 243, approx EUR 310 on amazon.co.uk anywhere cheaper?

    If you wait some time you can pick it up for 250eu on amazon.co.uk now and then. I sow it drop to that price often enough.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep an eye in it for a couple of weeks and see where the price goes. (Patience isn't one of my strong points.)

    There's another educational version. Major difference is that there is one extra touch sensor, a gyro and an ultrasonics instead of the IR in the Educational set. You can pick these up easily enough anyway. There's no issue using them as the programming blocks are now readily available from Lego.
