Funny you should mention that cause our team experimented with idea and came to the conclusion that the amount of power you need to generate the air to blow the ball away would cause your battery to run dry in a VERY short amount of time. But on the plus side, by blowing air upwards, you give your bot extra traction so if you find a good spot where you can shoot, collect, and block this would be a sweet idea (and amusing to watch). I like the way you think


BEHOLD, THE LEAF BLOWER OF DOOM!!!
