My version of http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Most-Useless-Machine (The Most Useless Machine Ever) which is a version of the original 1950's Ultimate Machine conceived by Marvin Minsky and built by Claude Shannon.
The electronic guts consist of the toggle switch shown, a microswitch, an ATMEL ATTiny13 microcontroller, a battery box, a diode and a standard R/C servo.

I specifically built it to be slower. I wanted it to seem deliberate.

how do you make it slow? all the others are really fast and hard to see

@jaredscoles12 This version is microprocessor controlled. It includes an Atmel ATTiny13 processor that generates the PWM servo signal, so I can move the servo to any of 100 positions. By adjusting how fast it changes position I can adjust the speed, or make it pause like it does at the beginning. Most other versions either modify the servo so it doesn't use a PWM signal, or generate only two signals - full right and full left, so the servo "races" to the position.

whatll happen if you turn it off before it turns itself off. or can you

@icametorock1 It will simply retract as if it had turned itself off. If you turn it off before it starts moving, it won't move at all.
