[Author's note 2023: this was a brainstorming session in the days before the robot club. We did not know about microcomputers, miniature mechanisms, or on-line selling. This was an idea that was later offered by others. A dash camera that recorded only the last 20 seconds and stopped automatically if there was a collision. The ideas were plentiful, the money to do it was not. Nor did we have any type of workshop or tools to work with anything except off-the-shelf components.]
Added later, here is a pic of JZ shuffling the cards. He was not at the IHOP meeting, that would have been Frank B.
