Right, I know that this sounds like a weird one, but bear with me.
I have recently had major surgery on my leg, and have been using those funky aluminum (note I spelled it the US way?) elbow crutches.
When I went to the physiotherapy department, I had to go near the children's ward. It was here I saw some children using the elbow crutches, but obviously a lot smaller than mine.
How about a simple show project where Ben gets a pair of these hollow elbow crutches, and adds some 'Benheckery'
1. Fabric switches on the grips, so each press gives a different note...
2. Strobing or lightly flashing LEDs 'inside' the hollowed out areas...
3. Replacing the bottom rubbers with semi-clear ones with thump-detecting LEDs (remember L.A. Gear lights trainers from teh 80s?) that flash every time they are made in contact with the ground...
and lastly
4. A custom laser-cut 'Team Heck' logo on each crutch.....
What you guys think, keep the kids happy eh?
