What age & resources? One idea is to provide the class with LDraw plans for
the robots, so the class (a) gets experience with LEGO construction, and (b)
creates all the robots for you (not to mention they’ll have a lot greater
interest in the final result if they are part of it - group project trumps
passive demo any day).
For later, line-following robots that can draw lines (white melamine 4x8
sheets are pretty cheap, as are dry-erase markers). Robotic ants in the
classroom.

Not a bad idea, to have the kids each build an identical robot, then give ‘em
the swarm challenge. I was thinking just a intro demo, really, but I could
turn it into curriculum. Thanks for the input!
