FIRST Ideas....
Once Dean and DEKA complete this product I can see a few good places where it could be put to use in FIRST.

1.) Robot battery charging stations. Maybe have a couple stations at each regional, and 10 at nationals, or 3 for each division (if they have them). This idea might be kinda tough to do, but it's possible.

2.) Drinking fountains. If nationals is moved somewhere, it will probably be warm. Why not have "stirling engine/drinking stations". Maybe Dean or another company could take one of the portable ones and use the power of the engine to power the pump (that pumps the water) and the engine can purify the water.
