Spend about 10-15 minutes talking about what would work well, and how to run the
robots (also safety procedures!?) then let them go.
With about 6 robots, by the time they all battle each other once (or twice) and
then have a couple melees with all the robots, you'll be done.

You're right. If you're just showing your C$ robot, that would kind of suck.
"I know it just put six chips in one column, without letting you play. That
means it won, right?"

I doubt it even looks like a shuttle, after you threw it in your clothes washer,
and lost all those pieces... :)
I'm serious. Do sumo. Kids love it. And you should be able to build and
program 4 of them in about 4 minutes.
Done.
