Don’t fancy yourself a real-life Ryu? Scared that with every corner you turn, a mugger lies waiting to kick you ass and take your money? Time to man up. Get a pair of these Blast Knuckles for $50. Aside from the clever pun, these fuckers will shock your opponent with 950,000 volts of power. Yes, nearly a million volts. In other words, make sure you have a good lawyer before you go kicking ass and taking names.
Remember that one summer in Coney Island where you sat down at a boardwalk game, trying to win a prize for your girlfriend? You had to shoot the water into a dude’s face until it a bell went off and little did you know it but you actually had a knack for this game.
Now fast forward to today. You’re divorced, lonely and you’re smoking entirely too much pot. Due to recent investments in GFSE stock, you’ve got $11,000 to play with. What do you do?
Easy. You spend it on this authentic Water Blast machine. It’ll allow you and your buddies to spend countless hours shooting jets of water at a target, just like you did that one special summer.
Check out Guilherme Martin’s first attempt at making a robot. He uses an Arduino and motor shield with one servo for steering and a standard DC motor for movement. It’s dubbed “baratinha” meaning “little cockroach” in Portuguese. Using two micro-switches as if they were antennae, baratinha is able to detect obstacles in its way. It’s just like a real cockroach except it won’t eat your food or leave a foul odor in its wake. I wonder if it’d survive an atomic blast?
