I had seen the blueprints for this marshmallow shooter while I used to be in Australia however the fittings had been prohibitively costly (see the picture proper). Fortunately they are very inexpensive here in Thailand. 2 x T-Pieces and 6 x elbows.

Some Thai university students who noticed the first automotive wanted to know how all of it worked and six of them got here around one Saturday and we spent the entire day hacking joysticks and constructing a second automobile. By connecting them both to a laptop computer and an information projector  [Zap Zone Defender Experience](https://rentry.co/46777-zap-zone-defender-the-ultimate-bug-zapper-for-2025) we were able to play break up-display Daytona USA.
