[aisle] Coding Robot options

Thu May 12 08:54:30 CDT 2022

For K-2 I use Robot Mouse and 3-5 I have Dash robots.  I do have Ozobots,
and have enjoyed using them with all grade levels, but been really unhappy
w/most of them breaking after just a few years.  The Dash robots have held
up well and Robot Mouse is cheap to replace, but I feel that for the price
Ozobot should last more than a couple of years.
