Re: Fundraising and Sponsors...

(mashes play on cassette player)

You can always try searching or looking through the older topics on this forum, or...

(stops the cassette player)

I had this idea for 1293 at one point, but here's to sharing the wealth. Basically, it takes place at a basketball game (or some other indoor sport). Sell balls (tennis, ping-pong, nerf--just something SOFT) with numbers on them, then during a pause in the game (halftime seems like a good time) drive around a robot of yours with it carrying a (new) trash can or a clothes hamper or something like that. (Did your team move around 2X balls this year? Hint hint.)

Folks throw their balls at the can or whatever, then you award a prize to those that make it (or draw for one among those that made it). Sweep the balls up, and run away.

This is just a theory, completely unproven. Your mileage may vary.
