Lightbulb Need a simple challenge for VEX summer camp

Okay,
So I am a bit brain dead after back to back regional events, Lone Star & Bayou, and I have to get some 'real' work done and I just need some help. Can't keep from thinking about logistics for the Championship event in Atlanta!

I just accepted a position at Northwest Vista College as the new Robotics Support Center director. Previously a 15 year veteran teacher in Edgewood ISD, the home of the Toltechs, FRC 499.

One of my tasks is to develop a 90 contact hour teacher institute for this summer. I am at the point of needed to start putting in specifics. One of the specifics is a mini-challenge for the end of week one where the teachers will have to build up the basic Vex Square bot to reach a goal. The purpose for building up is to require the teachers to apply the lessons about C.G. as they apply to building robots to reach high objects.

So does anyone recall a simple challenge they played or used that could fit or be modified for my purpose? Or are you feeling creative enough to send me a rough scenario idea.

Thanks,

APS
