hi i have an idea for a sports training aid for a very popular sport and have been trawling the internet to find anything like it and there is nothing out there. I done some searches on patent search sites and found nothing I have made a home made drawing (scribble more like ) to give me an idea of size, how it would look on the outside and the basic inner mechanics. To give a brief outline, its not an idea with with totally new parts and by that i mean that the parts that would create this are out there already, its just that they are not combined into one at the moment, so i would be creating a new product from these 2/3 objects. But they would be enclosed in a design that would be unique. I am currently making a crude prototype by taking apart the objects and reassembling to make my idea to see if i can get it to work together. Whats my next step once i have my crude prototype? 1. do i go for patent etc which i have seen can take 4 yrs or so, this would probably help with the finance of making a fully operational product as i dont have the funds to go out and get it done asap. 2. do i go on a kickstarter site and get help from investors? but i feel this would expose my product to others who could quickly make it. 3. do i start getting professional drawings, 3d design, 3d printing, and get a working model made that i could possibly show to manufacturers, sports companies and investors etc? i can see that i want to keep it to myself but i am going to have to tell someone at some point... just trying to protect my idea.. any thoughts?

we went, poo-ed our pants at what we found, came back... the hoax was created by us govt and now its all a mess... you are a nut if you think we went and you are a nut if you think its a hoax... mission accomplished.
