Each one has a design element which relates to the original, not necessarily an exact feature, more of a nod in that direction. :ugeek: (Now I just need a play with the Gold).

I guess I'm just over compensating for having a really, really boring job.

I'm gonna send them to Allard for people to have a play with at the MPP3.

From the feedback and my own experience there is a definate problem getting the mini's back together after they have been solved. (Too much of a faff getting the spring and pin back in). So, after being inspired by the new V2's and the way they work, which I think is fantastic) I have made a new pin for the Mini. Still in early stages and yet to be tested.

It has also been suggested by a few people about having a rounded end (or tapered) on the shaft to allow it to just push into the case without having to use your finger or anything to reassemble. The mini is too small to "stick your finger in" :oops: so this is something I hope to have a play about with aswell. :?

The new design has a narrower diameter of 1.5mm but will still work with a 3mm spring. This should allow a lot more complex maze to be used. Watch this space.. :twisted:

I'm surprised someone hasn't said it already but: the keyring is cute but where's the Mega Revomaze? Stainless steel and big enough to use as a bar stool and requires two people to get it open.

Always fighting over the TV remote? Hide it inside the Mega Revomaze!

Need a new boat anchor? Mega Revomaze to the rescue!

The RevoMaze beer can: you need to be sober enough to open it!


Or what about incorporating electronics? Fall into a trap and get a shock, complete the maze and it plays Another One Bites The Dust. The outer collar could have a small screen built in, when you reach the maze end the screen activates and shows a random fortune cookie message.

The possibilities! (I won't even mention the Revomaze Adult).

:)



Great work though on the keyring!

You mean like a Revomaze 2.0 with an LCD screen which gives you info on how your doing etc and a congrats message when you finish?? 8-) :D
