I just had a cool idea for a fundraiser this year! Everyone has probably heard of those fundraisers where you pay money to tape one of your teachers to a wall with duct tape. Well, you can do a "Blast Your Favorite Teacher With Our Nerf-Ball-Shooting-Robot" fundrasier!

Let someone pay $5 or $10 dollars for say 10 or 25 balls respectively. Then they get to aim the robot ball shooter and blast the nerf balls at their teacher from about 15-20 feet away! They are only nerf balls, and if you put your ball shooter into a "moderate" speed the 'victims', oops I mean teachers would only need to wear safety glasses.

I think something like that would probably be a huge success at our school since:

1. It is cool new fundrasier (you don't that oppertunity everyday!).

2. There are tons of students who would probably love to do this.

3. You won't need anything else besides your completed 2006 robot.

4. It will get your team and FIRST TONS of attention from the school!
