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. |
I'd qualify the sumo choice for the case of an older FLL team. The presence of FRC-aged mentoring will help immensely with the building and programming nuances involved in robo-sumo competition. The game requires a special playing field/board too.
The most satisfying part about your post is that your FRC team apparently understands the value of a "farm team" approach to sustainability. They seem to know whence cometh replacement FRC team members.
