Hi all,

I'm coaching an FLL team, and we are beginning to have some intra-team
competitions as a way to get some practice, etc. before the real deal
begins.

What I'm looking for are some suggestions for small prizes (I'm not made out
of money, or I'd have a lot more LEGO!) to give to the winning groups.  I'm
thinking things in the under $20 range for the most part, and I'd
defiinitely like
to give LEGO, especially things that will help to reinforce the concepts
we've
been going over (i.e. aspects of "The Art of LEGO Design"
http://mevard.www.media.mit.edu/people/fredm/papers/artoflego.pdf), etc.

I was thinking RoboRiders or Throwbots, but I'm not all that impressed with
those sets as exemplars of functional Technic design....

Anybody out there have some good ideas?

Thanks!
-Peter
FLL Team #1096 coach
