I love the idea! I didn't personally see your pit in Portland, but I'll be sure to take a look. One recommendation -- I don't know that it would be a good idea to charge for it. Your team benefits from the outreach/team spirit/not sure what to call it (public image) boost if you put it out there, cost or no cost. However, I think if you're going to do a fundraiser, you should do a full-on fundraiser like a bake sale, car wash, or sponsorships. A lot of teams don't have big budgets, so that could get in the way of widespread adoption of the idea. So to sum that up, you should put it out for free to get as many teams as possible to adopt it, and not have a half-hearted fundraiser attached to it.

**However, if you wanted to make the money optional (donations), that could be good.
