If You Could Have The Robolab of Your Dreams...

I have been given the opportunity to add to / enhance the robolab at camp. Currently we have two challenges (one for 9-11, and one for 12-14 year olds.) They have ~10 hours during the week to build/program a mindstorms robot (w/pre-built chassis) to complete various tasks on the table, along with a few more hours training in building / programming techniques and viewing a power-point presentation on robots like ASIMO and PSA. [And the "Roving Mars" IMAX is coming in next month. Should I plan to keep an eye out for an appearance Dave?] However, all that is in the lab right now is the Lego supplies, tables, chairs, laptops, competition tables, smart-board, and lockers.

I am looking for things that have high educational value, but are not EXTREMELY expensive; as they all have to be approved for purchase. [I am already planning to ask them if I can build a smaller FRC or VEX style robot to drive around and demo for the kids/visitors on site, and at camp-fairs.]

Any one have any Ideas on ways to improve the program? Or things that might be good to buy?
