Building a Better Robotic Mousetrap

Posted 16 Jan 2010 at 22:49 UTC by steve Share This

Steve Ross of telovation.com writes, "The robotic Better Mousetrap detects and exterminates everything in sight. Your visitors might also get a kick out of the video". The "Better Mousetrap" was built by Jake Easton who notes, "junk is the inventors best friend, and goes a long way to keeping project costs down". Jake admits that his mousetrap may be a bit overdesigned but does look awfully cool and it's very shiny. For all the technical details see the inventor's press release.
