Fluency/Flexibility
Of course when we discussed this in our groups during class, the results were just general, vague ideas. Some could be compared to real-life objects or situations, but some were just entirely random.
One of these entirely random ones probably had to be chemistry+archery, at least initially. After it was said though, I began to think of video game elements, specifically the 'Bomb arrow' from Legend of Zelda. It also makes me think more realistically, such as a chemical that could be coated onto an arrow that decreases its wind resistance, allowing it to fly farther and better.
There aren't really too many limits on what can be done with good chemistry. Another off the cuff idea that I can think of would probably be a chemical hardener, so that the tips do not break as easily. I'm sure some of these have been thought of, but I doubt that they're practical in any way, due to the cost of some of the processes. That isn't really the point of this assignment though; it's not to be limited by things like cost.
It sounds like you came up with some pretty interesting ideas. I like how you said the idea of this assignment was not to be limited by cost. We just need to let our creativity and passions go and see where they take us for ideas such as these. Perhaps the money will come if we combine the right passions together. I'd be curious to see what else you were able to come up with.

I like the idea of coating the arrow in some sort of chemical to reduce wind resistance. The possibilities literally are endless. There is a lot of science behind shooting an arrow, like the flight path of an arrow, the impact force, the strength of the tip, etc.
