The Gadget Show (channel 5) has just visited FabLab Manchester.
We helped presenter Jason Bradbury develop a Frizmarang, a kind of cross between a well known brand of flying disk and a boomerang. Designed to be flown at night, it has a 3W RGB LED in a centre 3D-printed plastic insert. The module cycles through the colour spectrum. I lent a hand, designing the light insert, using an ATTiny and a 3W RGB LED, the power source is a scavenged battery from a dead RC helicopter.
The boomerang was designed in Google Sketchup and CNC milled from plywood. For the full unveil, you will have to wait for the Gadget Show in about a months time.
