Submissions from GISHWHES 2015, when we officially dubbed our combined group “Team Apokaleypse”.
Item 16 – Nimoy Tribute

Item 15 – Childhood Memories
VIDEO. (Video may be up to 45 seconds.) Have an elderly relative take you back to an important location from their childhood and have them recount a memory of that spot. For example, they could take you back to the street corner where they learned to ride a bike and tell you about that day.
Item 13 – Flush-O-Matic 9000
VIDEO. (Video may be up to 20 seconds) Design and build a voice recognition device or robot stationed next to a toilet that flushes it when prompted by the voice command, “Crowley.” We must see you speak for 10 seconds prior to saying “Crowley” (you can say whatever you wish for this 10 seconds) but only see the flushing when “Crowley” is uttered. We must see the speaker’s face, the flushing mechanism and the toilet bowl in the video framing the entire time.
Item 11 – Police Breakdance Wave
VIDEO. Have at least 5 police officers with connected hands do a repeating breakdance wave in a ring and set it to a breakin’ beat.
Item 10 – Butter Hug

Item 6 – Knee and Elbow Scooters
VIDEO. Design and operate electric or gas-powered “knee and elbow scooters.” When you wear them, they must glide you down the street on your knees and elbows only. The device must be at least four separate pieces – not one or two platforms that you’re lying on. You must wear a helmet or your item won’t be accepted.
