The Original EX-System Kits
The names of the original kits, EX-15, EX-30, etc., give the number of experiments that could be performed with them. By purchasing expansion kits, EX-A, EX-B, etc., any of the kits could be upgraded to support the complete set of 191 experiments. Each expansion kit added new denshi blocks and came with a piece of external apparatus or some circuitry to be installed in the main unit.
Note that the EX-FM kit is compatible with all of the main kits, although some of its experiments require blocks from later kits in the series.
