I am just catching up on some of your blogs - this is a cool system.

Makes me want to get a black desk.

Good job

Although your goal was needless complexity I actually like the part of the circuit you use to maintain the constant current. I think that element of your design is both useful and practical.

Very cool!

Bonus points for not harming any amoebas! [emoticon:0f36700dfeb3494fa10d47dd9e1f90a1]

This is amazing!

I also love how you used past projects and reviewed items to build it! [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

"...I've always wanted to build a Rube Goldberg Machine, but I had no idea how tedious - and painful - the process would be!..."

But worth it in the end [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

The bird on a stick that I had used to have had a bit of a tendency to rotate around the pole on its way down, so it would probably have failed at the first step !

Any plans of going for the record ? Just a couple of more hours should do it... [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

The child/adult in me could watch this over and over endlessly! The adult in me is impressed with your inverse kinematics [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

Asking a worm to operate an app is definitely ambitious...[emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

hilarious - I need one for work and another for home. The irony of it all is the patpat failure. I'm pretty familiar with that.

Awesome - lots of electronics, sensors, actuators, mechanics and software.

Very good idea and fun build. Congratulations, you made my day.

Reminds me a bit of the 'south-pointing chariot' that often features in educational projects using differential gears.

Pretty amazing - looks like a lot of work went into it.

I have some of those switches somewhere in my stash, I need to find them and set them up for a project.
