well, team 810 had an official officers meeting today (well, not really, just dan and max came over and we made the robot work again), but we did discuss fundraisers. while we were playing with the robot, dan set's up a slalom in my driveway. so, naturally, we start doing runs. max does one, then i do, and after i finished, we're like, wow, what a great idea for a fundraiser.

here's how you would do it at school or somewhere. program in a failsafe switch. so, you have a driver standing there at all times, ready to hit it. when that switch is hit, everything stops, robot dies. then, you have people come up and pay $X to drive the robot. the person with the best time wins something (maybe a tv that gets donated, or somethign like that). if the person drives too far off course, or is going to crash into someone, the team driver hits the failsafe switch, robot dies, and then their turn is over.

the whole idea is very simple, and rather unique. and besides, it's not everyday you get to drive a robot (well, unless it's sitting in your garage... ).
