Mega Controller (dot)goodidea
It’s a problem that everybody has. The worlds worst soap opera starts with the most annoying of theme tunes and you need to change channel with some urgency, but you just can’t find the TV remote. It’s not your fault, it is just a law of physics that the controller must hide it’s self when you are not looking.
The solution is simple. Juts make the controller really large so you can not loose it. The Mega Controller (dot)goodidea is the ultimate solution measuring 2ft x 4ft and is day glow yellow. The pro version is fitted with strobe lights and flashing beacons to aid identification.
So we now have a controller that you can’t loose, but it is not overly mobile, so we decided to fit motorised coasters to the bottom and have a joystick mounted on top to allow it to be moved easily. I see a tilt and pan functions being added to future versions.
We have not wasted the space inside our large for factor either. No, we used it to solve another problem. You know haw annoying it is when the batteries go flat. Well the Mega Controller is fitted with a petrol engine to power it. I accept it is a little inconvenient having exhaust pipes trailing across the floor and out the window, but we are working on ways to reduce this impact.
So, what an idea this is. Are you in? It’s full of win?
