Another idea

Right, so, like George I was absent today, so I'm just offering a quick idea before the "madness" pitching tomorrow.
Anyone familiar with the century-old game Tesla Ball? It was a sport for young ladies that utilised technology devised by Nikola Tesla.
The arena is a typical court, but instead of goals, there is a switch across a line that closes a circuit and rings a bell when the shoulder-high leather ball is rolled over it. There are two teams of four, and the game was considered quite difficult and often resulted in torn clothing as the participants fought for control of the ball. Some were also slightly squished!
It's a simple concept that we could evolve into an awesome game by updating it a bit and making it more challenging.

  1. Sounds awesome. We should meet in advance of the lecture tomorrow and discuss further.

  3. sounds like a plan. I'm still pretty sick, and almost high off medicated lozenges and was planning on meeting with everyone, discussing the game and the presentation as I had planned to leave early today because I just feel really ill, and filming my one minute presentation you guys with the icam on an imac or Matt's notebook then playing it. Not trying to get out of it, I genually feel like crap :(

    Also, not sure if anyone will read this?
