They did.We're spies Dad and the evil mastermind Acorn Man is trying to corrupt the minds of children, but the 2 secret agents (Us) and their super support team save the day.

Arduino controlled Blast gates Close the blast doors! MAN CAVE PUZZLES 2020-05-20 | Thingiverse files: thingiverse.com/thing:4373781This is it in action. I only have 2 hoses, so if one is on, the other is off. The gates themselves are half home made. I was having issues with them clogging, so I made new sliders from an old plastic bin and these now don't clog and are easy to move.

Fully functional 3D printed Ghost trap. My version of Count Spatulas plans MAN CAVE PUZZLES 2018-06-17 | This is an amazing project to build from Sean Charlesworth's plans listed on Thiniverse.com. The doors were quite tricky to get working right, but the 3D files supplied are really fantastic!Sean lists some of parts on his Etsy site, and I wish I had seen them sooner than I did, because sourcing all this stuff is next to impossible. My hats off to the designer!thingiverse.com/thing:1394492Yes I know I didn't use the pedal to turn it on and off, I am still waiting for parts for the cable. My pedal will use RF to turn the trap on and off.
