I can see good reasons for both (kids or not). It's kind of like the 'custom sensor' argument. I could argue either side.
I must point out something interesting that I found in the Lafayette Lego Robotics Club. It's very common to have a kid and his dad show up for a meeting, then the next meeting, the kid has a Mindstorms set, then the next meeting, the dad also has a set. But that really doesn't matter, here.
At our meetings, I spend a lot of time explaining my robots to kids that can't otherwise figure out how they work. That stuff doesn't happen at rtlToronto. That was nice.
For the record, I AM going to find a way to make this 'Really big sumo event' happen! And you're all welcome to come check it out. or not.
