    When I was a child in kindergarten, one time we managed to make two beyblades produce a spark. To this day, that’s one of my proudest moments.

    Horrifying, I love it.

    It could definitely use a cover for the gears though. It’d be kinda gross to get the lube on your hands using this thing.

      No no, I get it.

      I do my best not to bother with form.

      I just make shit work.

      If you wanna pretty up my scripts for some sort of distribution, go for it.

      But I’m done with it after that. That’s the companies problem now.

    Is it just me or has hackaday gone down hill for the last couple years?

    They’re reporting on a bringus video from 4 months ago.

    I remember cutting my hand pretty good on one of the old metal beyblades as a kid. I loved those things

      I’m sorry that’s just rad as hell, masculinity has nothing to do with it, that’s just great taste.
