That's fantastic. Do you have a list of events already planned out? I think it'd be a great idea to have something reminiscent of a beauty pageant. Teams can sign up to present their robot. People gather in a crowd, and one by one, each team brings their robot out on a cart. With each robot, one person from the team is allowed to woo the audience with their voice their robot and why they think it's unique or special. Specifically, they can describe the internal properties and functions of their robot.

Reading back, it sounds over-the-top and silly, and it might be a pain to coordinate. But hey, it sounds like a fun (even educational) experience. At least, I think so.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
