Sara and I love to play Twister, but often we find we would like to play Twister when we’re the only ones around. This presents a problem because there is no one to operate the spinner.

Enter Lane Phillips. Sara and I approached him about making an automated Twister spinner, so we could just turn it on, set some kind of time delay, and play Twister with just 2 people.

Yesterday, after about 2 years of waiting (of which I’m guessing 10 minutes were spent on the actual work), he presented this.

The man is a genius. Long live Lane Phillips. May this invention bring him vast riches. And while you’re at lanephillips.net, check out Lane’s Guide to Quoting Monty Python.
