Ah, 18-100 introduction to Electrical & Computer Engineering, truly a quintessential class in the Carnegie Mellon undergraduate experience. Students get to build various fun labs every week, such as building 3 bit adders, a radio, and even programming their own machine learning classification system! To be able to complete such endeavors, each student is given a Lab Kit containing various electronic components, such as transistors, resistors, estradiol, and op-amp chips! After the semester ends, students get to keep the lab kits as long as they would like! This poses the question, what should you do with your kit when you are no longer grinding out labs? You could donate it to the CMU robotics club, which will welcome more electronic components to their collection, or, you could build the following fun projects!

1) Car bomb (our legal counsel advised me to mention that this is in Minecraft!) 2) Missile drone that targets endangered species 3) Radio signal jammer 4) Bread teleporter 5) Vision canceling goggles 6) Missile drone that targets essential roadway infrastructure 7) Chess-solving buttplug 8) Missile drone that targets actual people what the fuck is wrong with you 9) Did you just glaze over 8 what the fuck is wrong with you :( 10) 4 bit adder
