But then we cut the plastic slurpee cup piece into a buzz saw shape. It was like a Dremel with a plastic buzz saw shape on the end. We were sawing through paper, fruit and other random stuff. Someone discovered they had a 9V battery that allowed us to increase the speed. That got confiscated quickly, so we got more stuff and made another a few days later. That too got discovered and was quickly confiscated. Soon after that, mini fans were banned from our school.

We would make bow 'n arrows out of bic pens. Use a scissor to drill a hole in the middle of the casing, notch each end, put a rubber band around it, then use the pen tip/ink insert as the arrow. That thing had power, would go straight across the room and penetrate paper. Things got dicey when we would add sharp items to the tip and have fights between two teams. Blood was shed and that practice was soon banned.
