In the last Quarterly Maker Box, there were a few projects. One of them was this:
All laser cut with the exception of 4 metal rods and the 4 ball bearings. Works beautifully! Tinkineer has a whole line of these.
Building it definitely got my creative juices flowing.
I haven’t made mine yet. I was a slightly strange set this box, less maker-ish than the deresta sourced one last time…
Yes, definitely a little different. But I used the bristlebots with my kids the other day, and they also had fun watching me assemble the marble course, and then playing with it. Haven’t played with the maze yet.

I love watching that. Simple pleasures for simple minds. 
This is the ultimate fidget toy. Put this on your desk and you’ll want to turn the crank all the time, until everyone around you finds out and will all want to come and turn the crank!
