Mouse says: Holy shit! a geek trap... :P

[truvak]

I can only think of using this trap to keep mice off my expensive cheese.

[ivandjones]

So... did you catch the mouse?

[TCCHowie]

i wonder how they did it 30 years ago...

[averagemale2000]

who is that in the background and what are they doing? watching TV? If so what program were they watching? And did they know they were in the shot?

Also, I take it that if that thing catches a mouse you will not reuse that container for food storage, right?

Cool mouse trap, but nothing like the Game of Mouse Trap from Ideal®

1. Mouse activate switch 2. Massive spike set crush the mouse...

Crazy things !! :D :D :D

WHY do you need a controller for that? You have a twisted mind, my friend. Your idea: 1 - Mouse activates switch 2 - Switch activates Arduino 3 - Arduino activates relay 4 - Relay activates servo 5 - Servo turns and catches mouse How about: 1 - Mouse activates switch 2 - Switch activates servo? 3 - Servo turns and catches mouse Duuuuhh!!!
