The President seemed very taken with Hudy&#39;s invention, and even demonstrated it by shooting a marshmallow across the room. We first met Joey when he visited the element14 booth at MakerFaire Bay Area and assembled our demo kit (see pictures below).</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">Congratulations to Joey for his achievement! <span><a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-88/contentimage_5F00_930.png"><img alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/wikis/components/files/00/00/00/00/88/contentimage_930.png-16x16.png?sv=2016-05-31&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=P8QLiXCKlleeH2ztT0tZcE6kMznv614FOgfNDjcP8X0%3D&amp;se=2026-06-05T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;sp=r&amp;_=K5QUMctq2VaqwtJg87BNWg==" style="max-height: 16px;max-width: 16px;" /></a></span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"> </p><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Reimvk8D2Ho">www.youtube.com/watch</a></span><p style="margin:0;"></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">Joey at element14&#39;s booth at MakerFaire Bay Area. <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-socialgroup-small" href="https://www.element14.com/community/groups/maker-faire">Learn more about MakerFaire</a>.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span><a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/229x343/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-88/contentimage_5F00_86733.jpg"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/wikis/components/files/00/00/00/00/88/contentimage_86733.jpg-229x343.jpg?sv=2016-05-31&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=XIk%2F%2FkUidzWbuYO93wBj3PAtrWiJxPH%2Bj45X6mU9Cy0%3D&amp;se=2026-06-05T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;sp=r&amp;_=dk0tdfxORgnknQ813rIf5g==" style="max-height: 343px;max-width: 229px;" /></a></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
