[Robotgroup] big smoke rings

[Gray Mack]

The big smoke ring maker I saw at BM looked extremely
simple.

The rings could probably be seen from miles away. 
I think this one depends on heat to float the ring
(which starts as a fireball) and thus would only fire
straight up. I am thinking there is probably a city
ordinance against launching giant fireballs into the
Austin sky?

Also saw one of these giant vortex cannons:

ones with a pull back bungie cord.
