Compass Lock Escape Room Puzzle
I think escape rooms are really neat, but my interest is more in the puzzle design than in solving existing puzzles. So I decided to build my own!
This is a “lock” that players open by rotating the dial to different cardinal directions, following a sequence hidden in a clue.

Dead E. Ruxpin: cassette-tape controlled animatronic
This is a really fun project that I just finished in time for Halloween! It is an animatronic bear inspired by Teddy Ruxpin and it is completely controlled by cassette tapes. It has three servo motors that operate independently, all according to commands on one stereo channel of the tape while the other channel plays the audio!
Full build instructions are available on Instructables here.
