Heather,

One concern I would have is are you able to print the program out and 
hand it to the technical judges?  The judges seem appreciative when the 
kids hand that to them and it gives the judges more to remember you by 
when they are assigning awards.  The other concern I would have is that 
you may not be able to back these programs up.  If your NXT brick goes 
down you loose everything.  Look into these issues if you decide to 
program directly on the NXT brick.
