Contest Entry by Steve Hoefer
How many times have you seen a secret hideout with a secret knock? It’s a staple of cheesy dramas, Saturday afternoon movies, and tree houses throughout the world.

Silly String Shooting Spider (Build It)
Contest Entry by Todd Harrison

My plan was to use an Arduino micro-controller developer board to control my son’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” RC car that already shoots silly string. I didn’t get the spider to actually squirt the silly string but when you’re looking at [...]
