We got bored of the dance party (and were unable to improve on it), so we made a button counter and an arm that automatically hits the button.
It's basically just a button that registers touch, a display, and a Lego piece connected to a motor.
Not too complicated, but a little tricky with the coordination of the arm hitting the button. As the video shows, the button sometimes needs to be pressed manually to reset the arm when the arm fails to hit the button hard enough.
Obviously had we been more patient, we could have tested the times of the arm and so even if it missed, it would automatically try again. Or, we could have used a higher power on the motor, so the arm could hit harder.
But it's still pretty cool.
