Robotstudio Help - Introduction to Robotics

Hello All,
I have a couple of questions for you guys if you dont mind. I've been tasked with creating an Introduction to Robotics course at my community college. Our robotics class is mainly geared towards autonomous and agile robotics. I've included a video that we made. 
At the moment i'm being pressured to bring more industrial robotics into the class. I've spoken to a couple of knowledgeable people and they recommended the ABB IRB-120 robot. Our plan is to purchase 2 of these robots for the class. I also want to teach them Robotstudio aswell. I've spent a couple of days playing around with Robotstudio and i still have a lot to learn. My feeling is it would be nice if there was more tutorials and learning material available. All i've found is maybe 15 youtube videos without any sound. Do you guys think that this robot is a good idea for an educational setting??? Do you know where i could find good tutorials for complete beginners? 

I've also included my robot station. I have 4 targets and am trying to move along a path. For some reason i keep on getting robot axis configuration errors? Is there something obvious that i'm screwing up. Thank you for any help or advice you can offer.

    Hello Tim,
    IRB120 is the smallest ABB robot, and you connect it to a single phase outlet, so I think it's a perfect robot for an educational setting.
    Regarding tutorials will you find all we have made on our community: http://www.abb.com/product/ap/seitp327/f7890149122101c6c125798a004ee0e2.aspx
    But I'm afraid there are no more than the ones you already have found.
     
    If you shall teach out RobotStudio, I strongly recommend that you join a teacher led training course first. If you contact your local ABB office they will help you with information about that.
    I looked at your station, but unfortunately is not much I can do with it when it's missing the Virtual Controller. To save a station with the VirtualController (the robot system), you should use "PAck&Go" that you will find under File - Share.
     
    Best regards,

    Hello Tim,
    I am also new to RobotStudio and need more help with understanding what tool is used for what, how to edit a station and the basic capability of the software.
    Also, I find that there are many differences while following the Getting Started tutorials on the ABB website. Did you get any solution?
