Smart school, very smart. They understand partnership, promotion, supporting students interested how things work and like to build them, and fun. They also understand the value of a product. Smart.

Don, I just read your very bad pun. It rocks!

My family makes puns all of the time, but even by our standards, geez, these are bad! And for reference, the term "almost completely safe" can always be disproven. There's blood on the sidewalk at my middle school from when I did a video project with rubber chickens. If there's enough force to hurl a couple of pounds over a football field's distance, there's enough force to cause damage.

If these are bad, you haven't been around long enough. (There are some threads that were, for a while, almost solid puns. There are about a half-dozen people that you don't give a punny topic to, because they will go after it to the full extent of the humor.)

(emphasis mine)

Making a good point, and something we always need to keep in mind, we can think that because the robot is only shooting tennis balls (you never know) that the shooter can't hurt us. If something is moving you need to be alert, and you need to make sure you take all precautions.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will be shooting some video of the "catachet" in high quality and at 240 fps.
