Here's a stumper!

Looks like you guys are getting some good input on your project. Good idea to post here Dan. Nate, I would check around a bit for cheaper motors. I think you should be able to find them for around a buck per. If not, try a dollar store or the toy dept at k-mart, look for inexpensive toys that use a motor, and scrap the toy for the motor. To clarify, the shoe box is intended as a storage device. The project does have to fit in the box, but can be assembled and disassembled to meet this criteria.

BTW, Nate if you have no idea "what the frick to do," you may want to come and see me during seminar on Monday!
