Inflatable dart board
Have been tinkering with self-healing plastics and vinyls lately.
I can puncture this stuff with a dart, and it immediately repairs itself when you take the dart out. I think it is physically possible to create an inflatable dartboard.

I don’t know why we would want this, but it seems like a good idea.
