Re: need advice - wish to build demo robot

We do a lot of demos, many are in front of younger kids (elementary & middle school). We wanted one that showed well but would not injure a little robotier should we have an unplanned incident. Also, we thought T-shirt shooters could get expensive pretty quickly (at least for our budget).
What we decided on was a giant nerf shooter. It is on a wood coast chassis, the turret rotates and makes a great noise when it fires that draws kids like flys to honey. It will shoot a 12" section of swim noodle about 40 -50 feet, is easy on light fixtures and if you want to, kids can trade the pieces in for t- shirts.
