This past weekend, we just did this exact thing with 234. We set up one scoring grid, put our drivers stations next to each other, and let kids go at it. A team member stood with them as a 'coach' and directed the driver/operator what to do. For especially young kids, parents work well as drivers.
We had several kids, toddlers, even our superintendent, asst. super, and a clown drove our robots. It was great fun.

The idea of "pin the tube on the rack" is amazing and the only thing I don't like about it is that I hadn't thought of it myself. Request permission to steal.
