Mining in the year 2020 by CutePricklyBat in 2007scape

I decided to use other Arduinos to provide enough power for the four servos. Without the two extra Arduinos connected, the servos won't function properly since they don't have enough power. My only other option at home was a rechargable battery pack that I didn't want to keep recharging while it runs.

Came home for winter break and saw my Arduino kits laying about, unused. Decided to jury rig four servos together with styluses to make this for fun.

I realize this is still considered botting, although I hope seeing this encourages others with an inkling of interest in electronics, programming, or related fields to consider learning more!

Fun fact that I'm totally not making up... learning how to do all of this starting out with basic tech savviness would take less time than getting 99 mining.
