Quizmaster 5000 TM a journey into the unknown.

Making the board

A confusion of wires

Hoops Laboratories electronics housing specialist
Ron prepares the base.

These Easter M@Ms containers work awesome
with these arcade buttons I ordered from Adafruit.
Just a few minutes at the stripping wheel
gets them all shiny.

The board is safely attached to the base.

Ron mounts the doomsday toggle switch.

The top housing is finally DONE!

Top and bottom, ready to be married.
(well... you know what I mean)

Piezo speakers are added for sound effects.

Shiny, shiny... no it is not a helmet.

Well if it was a helmet it would be pretty cool.

Solder, solder, solder, back at the lab.

You know these pictures were really important for
the building process. They were oh so handy
to refer back to when my grey matter
failed me.

You don't understand,These bridges are... COVERED!

What's the difference between an abandoned, crumbling, warehouse and a historical building?
If you answered "running water under it" you would be right!
This Campfire mug was designed for some lovely folks on the East Coast.

Quizmaster 5000 TM Prototype finished! and Rejected!

Quizmaster 5000 tm prototype


The guts
Oh what can a person do when his labors are in vain? Contemplate the wisdom of Solomon, "all is vanity"? I enjoyed this project so much that I would much rather keep it than let it get dusty in some closet somewhere. It has already been well used buy my children in a rousing game of "Adventure Time Trivia".
