The 8-Bit Computer Implemented in K’NEX
It's an oft-forgotten fact that the workings of the modern computer don't require electronics. All of the basic logic gates can be implemented, although much more slowly and prone to malfunction, with physical Newtonian parts.

Shadowman39 has been working hard to implement an 8-bit computer entirely out of parts of the building set K'

Opening up my 2010 projBox, my first experience with Arduino. Apart from the birdshit solder joints, sticky potentiometers and not-even rat's nest wiring:

* one out of the four switches doesn't register;

* one of the LEDs is connected to the wrong port;

* one of the potentiometers somehow affects other analogue channels.

Maybe I'll rewire it. It might benefit from a hard-wired shield. Kind of proud of the period-appropriate Arduino Duemilanove in there, though
