One of our mentors suggested we sell batteries as well. We had several come back to ask about batteries last year. We are looking into buying in bulk and selling as a package with the robots as well or even offering to people who bought last year.

Interesting - we were told the same thing about the 1/09 crab availability as part of the fundraiser, but heard nothing of the inchworms being a part of the dealio.

We sold batteries last year. I believe we bought around 1000 at 6 cents each (see link above). I marketed the batteries as "Hexbug Food" and sold them 2 for a buck - far more than they actually cost. Good times. Of course the same can probably be said about the Hexbugs themselves.
I've attached the battery sales promo flyer we put up around Delphi. Behold my mad MS-Paint skillz. I had to add the "batteries" reference because apparently some people (the aforementioned Steeler fans, most likely) were too....encumbered by certain cognitive limitations....to figure out we were selling batteries.
We printed out the 2nd page and taped it to the box the batteries came in....
