We have been having good luck with raffling off robotic vacuum cleaners called, "Rhoomba's". They are made by a genuine robotics company called Irobot in the Boston area.

We just start selling raffle tickets for the rhoomba and when we have sold 500 tickets at $5.00 a piece, we go and buy the Rhoomba for $200 and draw the winning number. Then we do it again.

People have responded pretty positively to the idea. In many ways, they are making a donation to the team, but they also have 1 chance in 500 of winning the robot vacuum cleaner which really is a cool little machine.
