Now you're asking the right questions! Here are some pointers to some groups that do robotics with kids right:
Botball - a great league where kids get to design their robot and compete. But in a non-violent ways. Many great lessons for the kids, from gear ratios to teamwork. No violence.
Artbotics - this is a perfect match for students and a museum. Students actually make the art. No violence.
That's just a couple of different ways one could take all of the energy and good will that you guys have, steer in a slightly different direction, and make it much more enticing for a larger, more diverse crowd.
I do believe that kids can get desensitized to violence, both human and robotic. Which leads to my next post...
