16:3 Scale Labyrinth I forgot to mention that we we're linked by makezine.com the other day for our efforts in building a large scale labyrinth game.

My friend Dave Selden is the master mind. He had the idea to make the game based on his sweet eBay purchase. He called up some friends and we've been helping Dave build it over the past couple of weeks in the hopes of winning a mini-golf contest. We're up against our neighbors at Wyden & Kennedy, the ad agency for Nike. They are purportedly making a giant whale with the ball shooting out of the blow hole; rumors to be sure but I would expect they have a larger budget too.

The game begins by placing the golf ball in the start position on the board surface. One or two players turn two giant knobs on the sides of the game to manipulate the x and y axis of the board surface. If the player succeeds in moving the ball to the finish hole, the ball descends through a tube, out the side, and directly (hopefully) into the cup. Otherwise, the ball drops out on the far side of the game; where the player must then putt the ball around the rectangular green to the side with the hold. Got to love the mini-golf game!

Thanks Drew! He submitted us to makezine.com. He has millions of hundred dollar ideas.
