Well, the picture in the link below says it all, but what the heck .... put a wireless optical mouse on an air hockey table (or just the sensor thereof), and then maybe add some lightweight remote control gyro-engines, air hockey ramps, rubber band bumpers, a lightweight fuselage, half pipe, etc. You could do anything with it, really. Wherever the Air Mouse goes on the table, you see it on your computer monitor too if you adjust the sensitivity of your optical sensor just right.

I would like to pre-emptively say "Hey, but what use is a baby?"

       Babies get free candy, sometimes they get more candy than they can eat themselves and so you steal some back from them....it's the cycle of love! (it works the same way as with how mother birds feed their babies worms)
