All the RCX units will be pre-programming with these 5 patterns before the start of the competition.

This is an excellent suggestion. That really helps me to begin framing this 'event in the works' idea. I was thinking more along the line of HS but maybe grades 7-9 is a more logical choice with the unkowns about user experience. I could do a significant amount of recruiting from within our school district and then bring in students from neigboring districts or from the feeder schools to the other two FRC teams in town...

Have each team construct the LEGO robot around these pre-programmed PCX. The performance of the robot will be determined by the design of the robot and the program they elect to run during the matches. That is enough variety to create a fun and easy competition that will quickly introduce new students to FLL competitions.

I have been wanting to introduce FLL to our district junior highs but have not made many in roads. A fun and exciting competition could be the vehicle to do so.
I would like to hear from any others who can expand upon this latest concept or offer additional concepts that would entice HS students and deal with the limited expereince factor
