[dorkbotnyc-blabber] Toy Replica Project

[Lee von Kraus]

to detect the inversion of the cow just make a switch using a
mechanical pencil, a ball bearing, two sewing needles (or piano wire,
or some other strong, thin, conductive thing). alternatively you could
buy a toxic $3.75 mercury tilt switch
(https://www.tselectronic.com/gc/switches/35_760.html?tse_Session=26b01666e1ad9da9fc367ac6be2bbe89)

see attachment for diagram of how to make nontoxic tilt switch.
