Welcome to the MacroFab “Useless Machine” Challenge, sponsored by Mouser Electronics. The contest is all about creating the most useless machine – we want to see some amazing useless machines and for you to document it all. Include lessons learned during experimentation, design challenges, and more. You need to build something that is completely useless to society. How you design, power it, and program (or not) it is entirely up to you. More information can be found on the MacroFab Blog (https://macrofab.com/blog/macrofab-design-contest-useless-machine-sponsored-by-mouser-electronics/). This project is the work log for the Useless Trophy that will be given to the MacroFab Engineering Podcast Favorite entry.
