Demonstration robot

I am looking for ideas regarding an impressive robot for demonstration. I have used VEX for PLTW for 3 years and want to go further with a robotics club which previously does FIRST Lego League. I have used a traditional Clawbot for table and class demonstrations. Does anyone have good ideas for something more dynamic to use for demonstrations at events to help boost interest?

you could have a look through the instructions for v5 robots, see if anything stands out.

My kids once built a R2D2 looking robot with vex parts and drove it around during the school open house.

And there was another time they used their catapult robot to throw candies to students in the school canteen.

Johnny 5 is always a popular one on tours around the VEX Office!

One day we’ll get it restored with new motors and control system & get it moving again…

How fun. I love the catapult idea. I do have an old trebuchet in the storeroom…

NO DISASSEMBLE!

Number 5 is alive!
