Smile Fall mini-competitions for HS students
Do other teams out there hold mini-robotics-competitions in the Fall to get HS students excited about robotics and [hopefully] spend a lot of time on the actual FIRST robot? Our team is considering starting a mini-competition next year. We would like to keep costs minimal (no more than $500). What type of products do you allow students to construct "robots" out of? Legos (mindstorm)? Remote controlled car chassis? Others? What works and what doesn't? Any interesting game ideas?

Thanks
Patrick
