I love building and making things, as a member of the Akron MakerSpace my ability to make has grown from full size custom pinball machines to making and selling Dance Pads for video games. At the Makerspace I volunteer as the facilities manager, main
calvinthedestroyer will have a giant SkeeBowling machine like Skeeball but it uses 10lb bowling balls that you launch in the air at a target and Dance Dance Revolution Pads that are made from Wood!
What inspired you to make this project?:
A friend and I build the DDR pads for ourselves but after bringing the game out and sharing it with the community I saw that there was much more interest in the game than I had thought. So I decided to make more and sell them, bringing good quality pads to the home market.
SkeeBowling came from me wanting something new and exciting to bring to Maker Fair and this is what I came up with. I knew it was a good idea when everyone I told about was terrified of the idea. When I started building it, everyone at the space wanted to help out. When it was finally finished we stayed up to 2 am playing it.
