Cool invention I was thinking of during class today.....

[MetalMat]

I want to invent a thin mechanical arm specifically made to go into vending machines. It needs to be small enough to fit in your pocket, and needs an arm at the end.

You're basically you're a thief.

 

[DnetMHZ]

Could you be more vague? To steal stuff? to get the stuff you bought?

 

[shenaniganz]

Kinda like a handfull of quarters??

Or you could panhandle for about half an hour a day and buy your own damn Shasta.

Hacking into vending machines using the product choice buttons is a piece of friggin cake. Not that I would ever do such a thing... :evil:



Nah, in all reality, I've been waiting for the right situation to present itself where I can test my second-hand knowledge to see if it really works. Management is considering getting a coke machine or something in the lobby here. If they do, I think I'll politely ask to test something while the installation tech is here.

Yup. I know a guy who lives across town from me. His son rides around on his bike on the weekends. His bike has a rope that attaches a Radio Flyer wagon, which is attached to another RF wagon, which is attached to a third wagon. He rides all over town Saturday and Sunday picking up cans from trashcans and sidewalks and streets and things. He'll even ride as far out as North Plains (from cornelius/forest grove area) for anyone who knows the area. On good days, he'll make $30. :Q

Well, he did, anyway, before he got busted for his meth and crack habbit. :roll: Dumbass.

Who knew, this device can be modify and become a medical instrument to go pick stuff in your stomach through your ass. LOL

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

* These words were first used by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire's attitude, based on statements in Essay on Tolerance where he asserts: "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privelege to do so too", but some believe its ultimate origin may lie in Voltaire's letter to M. le Riche (February 6, 1770): "Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write."

Sounds cool. Get a patent, get it designed and engineered professionally, start up a small manufacturing company and build it. I'm sure you'll sell one.

Ooh, quick, make a thread with no description begging for money from OTers and then get pissed off when you get flamed for asking for a handout.

Oh if that's the case... suuure, why not.

 

[Juice Box]

theres enough ways to hack vending machines, why bother with this? Making the arm will be more expensive than paying for the stuff

[rh71]

It's already out there: a coat hanger. I used to work with a guy who was who could work wonders with one.

From what I've read you can't get free cokes unless you know the security code or whatever they call it. You can screw around with machine just not get free drinks.
