The electric skateboard that I built for my cat MIDI has a throttle lever with a hole in it where treats go. Put a treat into the throttle lever, and she pulls it to get a snack and give the board a boost.
The board was prototyped and built with the Glowforge for custom housings/parts, scavenged bits from electronics/store, some off the shelf electric skateboard drivetrain components, DC motor, and a Adafruit Feather microcontroller.
Amazing, I can’t stop watching it!!! and Happy Cake Day!
Your cat is soooo much cooler than the cats that live at my house.
That’s incredible! And so is the kitty, mine would have to be removed from the top of my head at the first movement. 
I’m not sure if I’m more impressed by the build or the cat!!!
“Hooman, you are upstaged. Now feed me!”
I think my kitty is a natural skateboarder 
A friend’s cat didn’t want anything to do with the evil rolling machine - even with treat motivation!
Seriously, she is gonna leave me and find success in extreme sports!
This wins on so many levels. Having a laser for electronic projects is so helpful. I’ve been watching all of GreatScott!'s videos and he could use one to up his game.
My cat would just lay in front of it pawing at the rough area of where the treats come out until he fell asleep
Thanks @Jules for making me laugh out loud 
my cats would do the same thing 
Awesome project and even more awesomely chill cat!!!
I’m curious how often people skip making tabs for press fitting, and instead glue things together. I know it may not save me a lot of time, but I’d rather spend my time getting my hands dirty rather than fiddling with tabs & kerf on a computer… so I used superglue and baking soda to stick the draftboard parts together on this project
Nice project. What role does the baking soda play with the glue?
Baking soda can be used to instantly cure super glue (cyanoacrylate), much like the Zip Kicker spray stuff. I like baking soda when I need structural strength since it adds some solid binding material and mass. It’s also less stinky/toxic than spray kicker, and is less fumey for the kitty’s sensitive nose.
That’s really good to know!! Thanks
This is brilliant!
I’m not sure which would win out… my cat’s obsession with food or her terror of self-moving objects. It would be an epic internal battle either way.
Oh. My. Gosh. This is the coolest project ever! I don’t dare show it to my cats—they will all want one of their own.
What?! My mind is blown. That’s fantastic. It’s much more sensible than buying a Roomba for the cat to ride.
Wonderful project, and maker skill! 
At least Roomba’s help you around the house Maybe a Roomba that has a bed on top with a food tray!
