[Vanhackspace] useless box as a kit

Hey,

So i've totally fallen in love with this Most Useless Machine:

  http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Most-Useless-Machine/

It's just so amazing, and the design is really appealing.

I was thinking that this would make a cool kit.  Would anyone else
like to build one?  If there is some significant interest, I'd be
interested to take on building a kit for us.

In the intsructable comments, compukidmike shows a simpler design that
involves less electronics by hacking the servo to remove the stop and
make it continuous.  Any comments on which design we'd want to pursue?

Any ideas on how we could improve on this idea to make it funnier/crazier?

(Sidenote: if we had a bigger space we could do some of the
woodworking inside VHS!  But I'm going to be out at my Dad's woodshop
next week so I could do some kit-making work there.)

Cheers,
Luke
