We found that little kids LOVE to catch the basketballs when a robot shoots it to them. Last weekend 2470 was at The Works (with 1816 and 3081) we had the kids load and catch basketballs from our robot, 3081 had kids play with kinect using last year's robot and 1816 had kids play with inner tubes using last year's robot.

If you are able to combine Kinect and shooting the basketballs into one program the kids should be pretty entertained!

Just my thoughts.
