I second this one. We started sumo with our FLL teams after the Body Forward season was over; the kids are having a blast. As are our high school FRC mentors (and a certain adult mentor, who shall remain nameless) .

The build isn't necessarily simple; you can use some pretty complex features. There's a LOT you can do with programming. Unfortunately, multi-tasking with NXT-G isn't pleasant, but it can be done.
