+<br>This was the mission that began my love affair with blue PVC pipe. I had seen the blueprints for this marshmallow shooter while I used to be in Australia however the fittings have been prohibitively expensive (see the image right). Fortunately they are very affordable here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and 6 x elbows. Cricket (not to be confused with Brockian Ultra-Cricket) is Australia's nationwide sport played with a bat, a ball, and two wickets. 6 x T-pieces, and 12 x 45-degree elbows.

A university scholar who performed with the PVC Water Pipe Tron Controller, described above, said "That's Ok however I prefer to play driving video games". It received me considering and over the subsequent week I spent my evenings constructing a PVC racing automobile controller - primarily a wheel-much less, PVC go-kart body related to the pc by way of a hacked USB joystick. Some Thai university college students who noticed the first car wanted to know how it all worked and six of them got here around one Saturday and we spent the entire day hacking joysticks and constructing a second automotive.
