Posts: 0 | Playing lightcycle games with PVC pipe controllers

I've built a couple of controllers for playing the GL-Tron lightcycle game (although both should work with any game that accepts mappable joystick button input) from PVC water pipe.
The first controller is made from PVC water pipe and some motorbike handgrips which are connected to the computer via a hacked USB joystick. The second controller uses the same idea but adds buttons to the handlebars of real motorbikes.
Both of them are straightforward to build if you have a spare afternoon (and a motorbike) and you're looking for some Tron-related fun with friends. You can see the bikes in action in this video.

Nice! You're a hard-core fan hehe.
I saw some of your other videos, really neat stuff your doing. I tried to get plasma pong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_Pong and seems to be taken down by atari, oh well.
I always wondered what those vacuum hovercraft in the back of popular science  looked like.
And now i'm reading how to rotoscope light sabers, looks like alot of work.

Cool! You're playing lightcyles, with real motorcycles!  That would make an awesome arcade game.
P.s.Am I the only one here who doesn't doesn't know how to ride motorcycles/own one?:/
I'm cold and calculating. Don't press my buttons.
