Geez, I feel dirty saying this, but you could probably get some... ahem.... sponsors from 3-letter agencies

When I was at school we were supposed to build a robot that put out a candle. Basically an LDR guided squirter.

Mine used an aerosol and a lighter until I got told off. Someone had to relight the candles.

So that idea is right up my street :)

those are fun and done inside a maze. which makes super cool. though the candle is stationary. including a moving target is like playing tag as a blind person (wi th the current affordable tech).

that would make it less exciting. the rush of autonomous competitions is trying to outsmart the others in terms of code

More exciting, to watch
