American Over-Engineering FTW: The Macpod Gooper Scooper
If you've got a milling machine and some imagination, ketchup spills are no longer a problem
Jeffrey Nelson runs Maryland-based Macpod LLC, which does software, electronics design
and hardware prototyping. It being a small operation--I suspect maybe even a
one-man shop--Nelson's got a tilting-column HiTorque Mini Mill in his house. Which
means that during a recent snow-in, when Nelson found it "too wet and cold
to play outside" and found it "time to make something stupid,"
he's got the in-house tech to create something a bit more sophisticated than
your average craft project:

Nice development video. If this was a tribute to the original SWITL idea, great - you should reference that. If not, then it's either a "great minds think alike" or a blatant ripoff... hopefully the former.

Anybody who thinks this is silly or frivolous has never cared for a sick dog...
