What about a thrower for those little mini cheapo 4 inch Frisbee's? I'd
think you could get a whole ton of those for really cheap, maybe even with
Hack Pittsburgh logo/name. Could even laser etch the logos. I mean you
could even etch logo on the CDs if you wanted to go that far.

As to the landing part, if only acrylic weren't so expensive, I'd like to
have a clear barrel long enough to contain the entire flight.
If we aren't going to be outside where wind is a factor, we could have a
"catcher's box" perhaps?
With targets maybe... Hmmmm...
Well, so far this is still in the brainstorming phase...

it looks quite doable.
