We're an inner-city team, so it's not easy to pull off the robot fund-raising trick, but I too have had thoughts about this. I think, especially for places that get snow (not us, it doesn't snow in New York anymore), a robot snow-blower, or plow if you want to use fewer mechanical components, would be very helpful for plowing walks or driveways. You could probably build an attachment for a previous FRC robot, and just do some light modification, and be all set to go.

I suppose if you're in an urban environment bind like us, you could probably do a robot trash pick-up based on the same device you saw earlier. We've got lots of trash all over our sidewalks, but it's hard to get permits to do that.
