-https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/25679 (ill try to get my robot post on that one going, almost done :] )

So Im sorta running out of ideas that are worth using and cheap enough. 

For example-https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/23474 i learned it was a little too expensive for me - a kid- to make and experiment.

So ill stop messin around now and cut to the chase. I would like to know what ideas you could come up with for me. Nothing is too stupid for me haha. Please keep within $75 total. Thanks

Try to build a working scale model…

…let’s say of an air cannon to get an idea about the movement, programming, mechanics etc.

You could build a cheap base (turret) and mount a laser pointer on it to program some algorithm for aiming and target recognizing.

This should be possible for 75 bucks and later you can just add more functionality.
