  • Yes, I still play Maze Craze.
I saw this video of a controller and it inspired me to make my own. I'm new to woodworking, and was looking for a new hobby.
Inspiration video:

Someone gave me a sawed Cherry Wood log...

The major difference (besides the poorer craftsmanship) is this controller had room for a raspberry pi...if you plug the controller into itself, it's its own joystick, or you can plug it into a computer and have it be the joystick.

Tools used:
1 1/4" Forstner bit
15/16" Spade bit
Plunge Router
Chain Saw
Electric Planer
Jig Saw
Random Orbital Sander
Drill
