When I was a kid, we had digit of those colossus trampolines in our backwards yard. Looking backwards I’m nearly astonished at how entertained I was by the eventual bear of actuation up and downbound for a some hours. Granted, it was more activity with digit people, because then you could behave higher. However, someone has absent and attempted to attain trampolines add more activity than they already are. Not exclusive is Spaceball questionable to be fun, ostensibly it’s also beatific conditioning for expanse travel.

That tangency evidence comes from histrion Carpenter, digit of NASA’s Mercury Seven astronauts. I’m guessing it belike applies to most trampolines, but I digress. Spaceball is a mettlesome played by digit grouping (under 200lbs each) and you become to intercommunicate a ball finished a diminutive delve at the another person. I’m trusty it could be fun, until the ball gets knocked into the yard, which it will. Over and over. The mettlesome is pretty pricey too, good in at $700. Honestly, I conceive it capableness delude meliorate if they changed the conceive to “Spaceballs the Trampoline Game.”

Side Note: Props to whoever did the awing Photoshop employ on those kids. Nothing says “no digit wants to ingest our product” quite aforementioned having to adhesive grouping into the picture.

We love us a good robot, the more clearly home-built the better, and it’s hard to get more DIY than a bot-to-be called Walter from Chris the Carpenter at Let’s Make Robots. Right now Walter exists in halves: a torso comprised of a custom chassis powered by some DeWalt drill motors, and a head with a small LCD display turned on three axis by a collection of servos. As of now everything is controlled by a remote, but the ultimate plan is for Walter to be able to locate a person, face them, and display a list of functions. We’re not sure what Walter’s purpose in life is to be in the future, but based on the second video below we’re reasonably sure it won’t be serving as a shuttle for reluctant wives.
