The Useless Machine Kit - Halloween Version

The Limited Edition Halloween Pumpkin Useless Machine is a great kit to build with kids that love Halloween. This "scary" machine acts like there is a little ghost inside turning itself off every time you turn it on. This version of the Useless Machine has been refined for a clean design and ease of assembly. There is no soldering required; all you need is a simple set of screw drivers and 30 minutes of time.

Be aware - playing with the Useless Machine is highly addictive. Don't say we didn't warn you! The Halloween Useless Machine has these great features:

* Easy to assemble

* No soldering required (Pre-assembled circuit board, use only a screw driver to attach battery and motor wires)
