Hey guys, this year our team was approached by one of the special education teachers at our school. He is also the coach for the basketball team that they all play on. His request was that our team design and build a mechanism that would allow wheelchair bound students, who normally wouldn't be able to shoot baskets, to do so.
Here is a news segment done by our local NBC news station:

While I have only seen it in action once, the reactions on the kids faces when they made a shot was priceless, and they could not stop thanking us for giving them the ability to do so. I hope that many of you can find a way to do the same thing at your school.
