Useless Cat
Well, I guess I have to change the name of the machine to something other than useless…

Solar Powered Uselessness!
YouTube user R0D0T uploaded the above video demonstrating his solar powered Useless Machine.
Like most other Useless Machines, this one is rude and has an attitude but at least it’s friendly to the environment…
(Edit: RODOT also has a blog you should check out: RODOT’S Stuff.)
More LEGO Uselessness!
Lego enthusiast and YouTuber Rammy Indianajones created the above LEGO Useless Machine. It’s not using Mindstorms or any electronics, just a wind-up mechanism.
Well done, Rammy!
Useless How-To-Video!
The assembled Parts Kit
Perhaps I should have chose a different company name, because ever since I started selling Useless Machines I haven’t had very much time to get “frivolous”. We are keeping up to sales and are shipping most orders the next business day. But many important tasked have yet to be completed due to lack of time. One thing I haven’t done yet is to make a How-To-Video on soldering the kits.
Fortunately, Apple Guy was kind enough to make the above How-To-Video for me.
Apple Guy also happens to be one the four people I’m sub-contracting to solder the ‘gutz’ of the Useless Machines. He’s soldered most of the machines lately, so if you buy a pre-soldered Machine, the chances are he’s the one who assembled the electronics.
Thanks Apple Guy, for all of your help and hard work!
Another Satisfied Customer
Oli’s Mechanical Puzzle Blog was kind enough to give a fantastic review of The Ultimate Useless Machine Kit:
I honestly have no idea why it is so satisfying to play with, but after watching many many other people constantly flicking the switch on this mysterious black box I know I’m not alone in finding it so fascinating.This is a great little gizmo to own…
…And also I’d say a pretty neat thing to give as a gift!
Please check out Oli’s blog not only for this fantastic review but to see the cool mechanical puzzles that he writes about.
