It would help a lot if you told us what you have available.

Also, consider tailoring it a bit to the company that you're trying to gain sponsorship. Is it a software firm? You might try doing something fun with autonomous mode to demonstrate a big way that software ties in. Maybe it's a company that makes arms for industry robots - you might use a robot in a game where a great arm was especially useful. Getting people excited about what they could contribute share their talents and how the program could eventually benefit their company is a great way to encourage involvement and sponsorship.

• Definite second on the '06 shooting. An excellent game, and pretty simple to work with.
• Dodgeball - humans vs robot + a couple people
