Well, since my team's not buying my idea of dropping a wrench into the gearbox using servos, I guess I'll have to stick to the electronic brakes. So, we'll stop on a twoonie instead of a dime.

I'm still amazed at how well it shoots. I take it you can vary the speed to shoot the balls from different distances, right? So...all we need to do is to strap a glowing green panel onto someone's head and then play a little game of dodgeball...
