Interesting looking site. I found this game programming toolkit from MIT similar to how NXTs program and perhaps a good way for teams to practice their programming skills without a NXT handy. http://scratch.mit.edu - I made a few video tutorials about how easy it is to use: http://www.bitshop.com/Blogs/tabid/95/EntryId/42/Scratch1.aspx http://www.bitshop.com/Blogs/tabid/95/EntryId/43/Scratch2.aspx http://www.bitshop.com/Blogs/tabid/95/EntryId/44/Scratch3.aspx It's not NXT, but it conveys the logic like NXT IMHO and kids can play with it at home without needing a NXT kit. It supports movement, direction change, bump sensing, etc. It's all in the context of making games, but many of the programming logic is set up almost identical.
