Roborally
Roborally is a board game about robots racing around a factory floor. What makes it interesting is the programming model for the robots. Each player is given a series of cards. Each card depicts a move such as turn right, move forward 1, move forward 2, etc. The players arrange their cards for a series of 5 moves. The robots will then carry out these moves no matter what. The catch is that there are conveyor belts, crushers, pits, etc. which can all affect the robot's move. There are also other robots which can push your robot, affecting its movement.The game rules will have to be simplified slightly but they should translate into an interesting modeling exercize and a cool program.
Rules for the game can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/roborally.pdf
