Build a Hideous Alarm Clock That Will Make You Turn It Off With a Nerf Pistol Shot
If you find it difficult to wake up in the morning, annoying alarms are a tried and true way to get yourself to get up and out of bed. YouTuber Normal Universe’s method for solving this problem was to create an alarm that requires a shot from a Nerf pistol to turn off.
The idea is simple: the alarm sounds until something hits it, in this case a Nerf dart. The alarm is connected to a sensor that is connected to a NeoPixel ring that displays the time inside a 3D printed case. This is all as absurd as it gets, but it’s a fun idea nonetheless. You will find a tutorial on how to create one on YouTube.
