The grand prize goes to the group that put motion detectors in the bathrooms. The lights go out right after you close the stall door and sit down. The auto-flushers have photocell charging for the batteries to the circuits that never charge because the lights were off. All of the batteries were discharged by the time the school opened. The bypass button was electrical instead of mechanical so the only way to flush was with a bucket of water from the mop closet. They were custom NiCd batteries that died after three years of life and cost $300 each, approximately the cost of their replacement lever flushers.
