I would like to assist with part of the WebAPI effort: ...we want to make the full range of hardware that people use available to the web platform. From common hardware like cameras, to more rarely used (but no less awesome) hardware like USB-driven Nerf cannons. http://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/08/more-details-about-the-webapi-effort/ I will require a USB Nerf cannon. Not sure if sicking has any specific model recommendations.

I'm staying out of this one.

This is a serious request? It's really hard to tell.

Yes. I am quite serious about doing this! However, in the name of fiscal modesty, I'm just going to buy this myself for initial development. Once it's up and running, we can see about doing a bulk buy for everyone in the office. ;-)
