The best thing I've builtWehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

PeaMaticA school craze for pea-shooters (well, spit-ball shooters really) was in full swing. But point, shoot, repeat seemed a little pedestrian to me; clearly I needed More Power.
So I built a machine-pea-shooter: a ten-shot repeater, something like a minigun, with ten barrels and a sliding mouthpiece. I could shoot one at a time, or unleash a deadly hail of spit-balls at my cowering victims.
Unfortunately, my playground triumph was short lived, as a) it took about five minutes to re-load, and b) I got beaten up for being a smart-arse.
