| Musician Pet 
This toy would hook up wirelessly to handheld devices, find favorite music, and then produce simple variations on favorite songs, based on what the user (child or adult) says to the stuffed animal about the song. The point is to have a cheap alternative to robots, which do creative things, but with the advantage of being cuddly.Reward: Maybe one of these electronics things will finally work for me - usually I have misgivings. Intangible / secondary reward.

| Self-Leveling Boat Deck
A friend showed me a YouTube video of a pool table that counteracts the movement caused by waves on a ship at sea (see next post). Why can't they make the entire deck of a boat work on the same principal?No matter how much the waves rock the boat, the deck would remain level, just like the pool table. It would work using either some type of gyroscope or gimbal, or it would float independent from the base using some sort of counter-weight (possibly like a ball compass). After doing some research, I discovered that there is a device on the market that is basically a gyroscope in a box (see next post). It claims to reduce the effect of waves by 50%. Does anyone else think it's possible to engineer a way to keep the deck of a ship level at all times?THANKS ALL!

| Train Track Walker Notification System
I think trains should have paintball, pellet, or BB guns fixed to the locomotive to shoot at people are walking on the tracks. Most of the time, when someone gets hit by a train the number one reason (besides stupidity) is that they are wearing earphones turned up too loud. If you shot him a few times, he might just have enough time to get off the tracks and keep his life.Reward: The reward would be getting to shoot a stupid person with a pellet gun.
