The R-Tronic 8-Bit
This is a unique handmade toy that will fascinate both kids and adults.
I started making this toy as a first birthday present for my daughter
The Sound
How to play
Press on a shape and it will make a noise, it will put that noise into one of 8 sound slots, the noise will now be made each time that slot is reached. So it is possible to make endless combinations of the 4 sounds. There are 8 LEDs(light emmiting diodes) for each sound slot and 4 four LEDs for each sound. It sounds complicated but its as simple as pressing down on the shapes to activate sounds and let it take off from there.
Build it
You can find the full detailed instructions for the R-Tronic in Make magazine issue 13.
