However, having used it in just that way, it *is* a great set to show the
kids. I used the LEGO mars exploration rover several times this year while
talking to school groups about the MER mission(s), and built an unsprung
suspension out of LEGO that you could run over a "rock" (the child's fist). Some
demos of pre-built, wow-isn't-this-great goes over well with 6-yr-olds.

The manas were always the "spoilers" in our kids sumo contest - the older
ones built autonomus RCX-based, while the younger ones just tried to smash
things off the ring with the rather underpowered manas. Actually, at times a
pretty fair fight (a mana could win, but only be realizing you had to
hit-em-from-behind).
