School let out today for holiday break, and with my mind off of school, I got to thinking, which can be a bad thing... I came up with this little idea to have a little bit of fun before christmas.
Take an old servo, pull the motor out of it, solder it to a 9v battery like so.
You can even put it inside a small box if you want. Now take this contraption and stick it in between 2 presents in a pile of christmas presents. Now wait for the fun to begin. Family members will hear the buzzing of the motor, and wonder what is going on. Itll start to drive someone nuts. There are even variants to this too. Do the same thing, but with a motor from an old video game controller(to have it "Rumble"). You may need to double up the batteries on that one.
Now if you really want to go over the top with this, grab a box, and place in it a stock 1/18th brushed ESC, wired to a rumble motor, with a decent capacity Nickel Pack(unless you want to risk a lipo in there) and your DSM Rx. Turn it on, seal the box, wrap it like it's a present, and put it towards the bottom of the pile. When someone walks by, hit the trigger for a second to make the whole pile of presents shake, and when they go to investigate, just stop.
Hope someone has some fun with this, and if they find any good reactions, please tape 'em and post 'em!
