Potato cannons sound like a lot of fun, but trust me, it isnt worth it to end up in a cop crusier being driven to your parents house. The way laws are written, things like patato cannons, illegal fire works, and even those water ballon launchers will make you sound like a terroist. Some things seem like kid stuff when you do it, but when it's put on "paper" it's another story.

Yes, a whole generation will not be exposed to the basic concepts of science. They won't learn skills you pick up in shop class. Most kids that fool with stuff like this are pretty bright anyway and truly learn from designing and building things like potato cannons, rockets, R/C planes. So many hobbies are banned by uninformed and frightened parents that don't realize they are actually stifling their children's opportunities to learn in a hands on way.
