I'm currently in the process of designing a few Vex-style games/challenges, and in the fall the team will split into two and design robots to compete. Should be great because it will teach some of the fundamentals of robotics, will build and emphasize teamwork, and will be fun. I just wish I could be part of it...
why can't you continue as a mentor? Many of our students have been thinking that when they graduate they would like to come back as possible mentors.
