Pointless is fun - three mobiles by Brian

The One, The Only…

THE FROG RACER

Frog racer

The Frog Racer in all his strange, not green glory.  Unfortunately, this time the thingy came home, and was promptly attacked by the pooch when we ran it in the house, so that’s why on of his eyes is taped on.

On the front, you can see the bag handle we attached as a front wheel, and the small tweeters that make up his eyes.

This one has a rechargeable massager battery, and switch set, but is using two fan motors for making him move and shake. All this has been set in a box that was holding a coaster set that we bought for the case.

On the right, you can see the speaker that’s in the top of the box… we had to make it so we could hook up an mp3 player when he wasn’t doing much, sitting on the desk. There’s a 1/8″ jack on the side toward the back when it’s closed.

So this is what it looks like, top to bottom:

Frog racer
Headphone/Speaker jack. (the iFrog?)
Boomin’ 5W speaker
Recharging port.
Rechargable battery, and switch block soldered on turbo.
Blue power switch on the left.
Support bar so the tire motors don’t buckle.
Fan motors, with rubber band wheels for traction.

It just happened again. Don’t ask why.
