out of FIRST projects
I don't know about you guys but my biggest hobby is building things. There's nothing i love more that making something cool. I was just wondering what kind of things you guys build outside of FIRST. I have built a variety of potato cannons, go karts, rockets, catapults, an electronic fireworks ignition system, and various other projects. I'm always looking for new ideas of fun things to build.
