Re: Demo Ideas

Prizes, prizes, prizes!

As if a kid wasn't already thrilled to be driving a robot, the opportunity to win prizes while doing so will have them lining up.

One of the ideas that we have been kicking around is creating a mini-game with FTC parts. Possibly something that would shoot ping pong balls through a hoop, or something along those lines.

Let the kids come up and touch the robot and see the inner workings. You probably can't explain the intricate details (depending on the age group), but its always nice to try and find someway for them to come away with a bit of new knowledge.

It's also pretty easy to do a little bit of FLL recruitment. Bring some legos and give some of the kids a shot to see what they can build in a small amount of time. Get the creativity flowing.
