The Zap-A-Mole Machine

My interpretation of the whack-a-mole arcade game

(See the full project here!)

With a surprisingly simple premise, i found that this project was deviously hard to construct, from conception to final touches. On top of everything else, this project was a study in miniaturization, mass production from a single design, and consumer/user interface. The whole assembly was constructed from plastic, perf-board, (and part of a coffee can). Interestingly, the primary tool used for this project was a dremel tool - which sufficed perfectly for all the cutting and drilling involved.   The whole project  cost me $14, not counting the arduino- mostly covering the display and its electronics.
