WipEout... made of cardboard!
I realise this may not be so interesting to those of you who aren't as WipEout-obsessed as me, but I thought I'd post it because (as the full article says) chances are most of us have played a WipEout game if we've ever had a go on a PlayStation. This bloke has made a playable replica out of an arcade cabinet that controls an RC car around a cardboard track. I want a go! (Turn the sound down on the vid; that peepy techno is really piercing)

Looks like it is made from a type of medium density fibreboard.
Cardboard might not have the desired properties for this kind of device.

Agreed.
It's most deffinately cardboard. Most of my work time is currently consumed by a project installing a new control system on a machine that makes the stuff...
