We have been experimenting with Pixie Dust this year. The only issue we seem to not be able to overcome is the mess it leaves behind on the field carpet.
We may even have to add a vacuum cleaner to our drive chassis to try to keep the field clean. This would also make the Dust a sustainable item as we can recycle it from match to match. AND, it is not expressly prohibited in the rules.
