In my part of the world social distancing was never very good so perhaps this machine could be reborn as a teaching aid rather than a memorial? It’s impressive that nobody makes the first move at exactly the same time as the other so there are no crashes. That could be incorporated into the teaching. Alas the setting looks like any high density urban setting anywhere so shouldn’t date for a long time….

Reminds me of the out-of-control pram in The Avengers “Quick Quick Slow Death” opening scene.

l had great fun visiting the arcade.
The Americans l met while trying out the Money Laundering Machine were greatly impressed by the ingenuity, as was l.

My top machine after the DIY Nuke Launcher which gave me a toffee, was Tim’s hilarious “Package Holiday” because l was a travel guide in the Med, urging Brits not to turn into lobsters.
??

Thank you GA for letting me ‘meet’ the Mastermind. Never dreamt l would.

Hope you are still safely ducking & diving. ?

I wonder would Mr. Hunkin be able to prototype a portable real-life social distancing machine with a 2m spike that could somehow position itself so that people should stay the correct distance? It would be very useful

I love the way the figures ‘walk’. Tim Hunkin is a genius. All his machines are amazing and this new addition is so funny.
