SjoelSim! Is a mixed-reality version of the popular and historic Dutch shuffleboard game “Sjoelen”. The circuit makes use of two HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensors to measure the X and Z velocity of a playing disc. In combination with a program built in the Unity Engine, it makes for a pretty good alternative to the real
There are so many authentic looking lightsaber build guides but not many on building a super long lightsaber. Regarding Star Wars, I’m not sure why lightsabers are normal sword size anyway. Its not like the longer the lightsaber, the harder it would be to swing. I assume they are essentially weightless. Just make it 10′
