Re: Robotics fun day (moved from chitchat)

Paper airplane challenge: Accuracy and distance. Simply design a paper airplane that is accurate or can go very far, differing point amounts (i.e., farther targets are worth more, total distance in 3 throws plus total points from accuracy is your score).

Lego building challenge: Given a bunch of parts, build us something cool in X category. (May need more specific than just a category, but you get the idea.)

Improve the robot: Take this year's robot, show them the game, and ask them how you can improve it. (Then implement those improvements and take the robot to an offseason competition--great freshman training there, so 2 for the price of 1!)
