: You wouldn't think so, but those foam fingers are pricey. They're like 2 bucks a pop atleast. I know, cause I was with our logo guy when we were pricing out our extra handouts. that'd be a thousand dollar if you wanted to have enough to hand out at nationals. Most of the cool stuff is incredibly expensive. Or hard. Hard stuff if bad for throwing out from the stage and whatnot. I still remember the team that tried throwing out jawbreakers.. ::shudders::
: Anyways, Team 57 is giving out antenna balls, and hacky sacks this year. The antenna balls seemed to be popular last year, so we're gonna keep with them. Plus, they're not really that expensive. The hacky sacks are because we had to change something, so we decided to get rid of the light bulb stress balls.
: On a completely different note, I think delivery is half of the novelty of a handout. Any buffoon can throw stuff off the stage, but it takes a Grade A moron to design a semi-automatic air powered antenna ball launcher. I couldn't get enough time together this year to do it, but ya'll better look out next year.

You couldn't, but I did. It isn't semi-auto, but it should work. So would that make me a Grade B moron?

Easy. Go over the 6x4, and push it down (geared glob motor). We are doing it.
