E&M labs , which heighten $ 96,000 on Kickstarter last class for theirTrebuchette , has build up a new toy : Skallops . They ’re wooden clips that transform a unconstipated deck of cards into a set of building mental block .
The musical theme for Skallops has been lying sleeping inMarshall Grinstead‘s brain since he was 8 . Now he ’s in the end nonplus his hands on a optical maser to edit out birch plywood into the scallop conformation of his dreams . They ’re reminiscent of Tinker Toys , but the pieces link up regular playing cards . The Skallops hold the cards together at a variety of angle , and they even connect together themselves to breed the edifice possibilities . Watch the peek make everything from bow standoff to robots to TIE fighters .
It ’s one of those geniusly simple invention that never would have occurred to me in a million years and that I now very much need . A starter clique come with 104 Skallops and two deck of card , and will run you $ 45 plus shipping . Marshall is so adorably clumsy that I trust he makes millions off of Skallops so he never has to make a telecasting again .
