This was the undertaking that started my love affair with blue PVC pipe. I had seen the blueprints for this marshmallow shooter whereas I was in Australia but the fittings had been prohibitively expensive (see the image proper). Fortunately they are very affordable right here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and 6 x elbows. Cricket (to not be confused with Brockian Ultra-Cricket) is Australia's national sport played with a bat, a ball, and two wickets. 6 x T-pieces, and 12 x 45-diploma elbows. The backboard is a non-regulation dimension piece of plywood that we discovered mendacity round and we used inexperienced duct tape for the markings. Although the ring is not robust enough to dangle off, the aspect supports make it sturdy enough for regular play. Additionally they give it a really Star Trek feel and I feel the ring seems to be not not like the NCC-31911 Saratoga. This is maybe probably the most straight forward use for PVC pipe on this page. 2 x 25mm to 18mm (1" to 1/2") reducers, 2 x custom motorbike hand-grips, 4 x push-buttons, and [Zap Zone](http://www.xn--9i1b4dy00ap2m.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=qna&wr_id=622076) a mercury switch which are linked to a pc by way of a hacked USB joystick.

You could find extra details about how I made the controller on this venture web page and i've additionally prolonged the same idea to play GL-Tron utilizing actual motorbikes. A college scholar who played with the PVC Water Pipe Tron Controller, described above, stated "That's Ok but I wish to play driving games". It acquired me thinking and over the next week I spent my evenings constructing a PVC racing automotive controller - primarily a wheel-less, PVC go-kart frame linked to the computer via a hacked USB joystick. Some Thai college students who saw the primary automotive wanted to know how all of it labored and 6 of them came round one Saturday and we spent the entire day hacking joysticks and building a second automotive. By connecting them each to a laptop computer and a data projector we have been capable of play break up-screen Daytona [Zap Zone Defender USA](https://mozillabd.science/wiki/Zap_Zone_Defender:_The_Ultimate_Bug_Zapper_For_2025). You'll find extra particulars concerning the design and building of the cars on this mission web page. The white workplace table I used for the virtual pinball machine wasn't excessive enough to be played comfortably.

1 x T-piece, and a pair of x elbows - partially to aid air stream but largely to carry my screen up as a result of the spring within the hinge has damaged. As straightforward as this stand appears, the "L"-formed upright part is actually a part of an air-conditioner mount for a data projector that I made for one of many digital pinball desk installations. The T-piece is not glued and so in a small way (a really, very small approach) I wish to suppose that if the air-conditioning mount had been ever wanted once more then the parts may re-mix in a Voltron or Captain Planet and the Planeteers or Power Rangers MegaZord-like approach. Of course if that happened my laptop computer display screen would fall down. I don't own a Nintendo Wii however I did handle to get my arms on a Wiimote so that I could check out a few of Johnny Chung Lee's cool tasks. This is a Wiimote mount I constructed using a length of 35mm (1 and 1/4") pipe, some 18mm (1/2") pipe, 3 x T-pieces, and 4 x elbows.

The 35mm pipe has been minimize so that it matches properly into the ridges down the aspect of the Wiimote which holds it securely. That is screwed onto a T-Piece which has additionally had its top cut off. The joint between the 2 topmost elbows is just not glued so the angle of the highest part may be adjusted. These sections are merely cable-tied onto the front of the motorbike handlebars and the players squeeze the buttons with their index fingers to turn left or right. A mercury swap can also be mounted on the fitting handlebar so the accelerator can be utilized to supply increase within the game and up to 4 bikes might be connected to the computer by way of a single hacked USB joystick. The centerstands keep the bikes upright during play and a half-spherical of bamboo is wedged beneath the again tires to stop them from rocking. This can be a music stand made from three different sizes of pipe.
