DIY Remote Controlled Vibrator made by student for scavenger hunt

This is a vibrator that would make McGuyver proud.

This vibrator was built for a student scavenger hunt competition at University of Melbourne. It uses the same thrusting motion as the Priceless (except it uses a flywheel instead of groove axel). The communications scheme works through the parallel port of a PC, giving you instant wireless internet access through a webserver, and bluetooth access by using a phone in a way that I'm not sure it was originally meant to be used. The whole project, including schematics and source code, are to be open sourced soon. Neat!
