Who doesn't love skeeball? With help from i3Detroit I built a skeeball machine from spare lumber, plastic garden edging, pvc pipe, a bit of canvas, a few contact switches, and an arduino compatible. The focus was to build a game for people to enjoy at the i3Detroit hackerspace.
Originally from Monroe Michigan, I am a founding member of i3Detroit with a passion for all science and technology and implementing them to solve problems or just have fun.
Arduino powered foam dart shooting range
Matthew Switlik
It's four pop-up targets that detect the impact of a foam dart. You can play a quick draw game that records the time it takes to hit 4 random targets or a "free play" mode with no score keeping. Who's the fastest draw at the maker faire?
DIY Musical Instruments
Matthew Switlik
a Cigar Box Guitar, a Wine Crate Bass, and a Beer Growler Organ. Musical instruments built at the i3Detroit Hackerspace. A musically talented friend of i3Detroit, Eric Richardville and company will jam on some customer built instruments.
