Speaking of funny buttons I was wandering toward Chinatown in NYC when I stumbled across a cool little art design store i'd never seen before. After looking through the store for a bit, I saw the "Emergency Button" It was a small plastic stand with a red button under a caution coated flap. I laughed but the amusing part was that, Sitting next to it was the "Emergency Button DX" a small plastic stand with 3 switches, 2 buttons and the same emergency button. Next to that on an even larger plastic stand was a large plastic panel labeled, "Emergency Button Super DX 3000" It had something like 5 buttons, 5 switches, 2 keys(that need to be turned simultaneously) to unlock the emergency button. A whole lineup of emergency buttons.
So I turned around, they had some cool model anime robots sitting on display. Hidden underneath though in a giant display case was the "Emergency Button Millenium Edition" An entire metal work case, with fold up lid that displayed a map of the world, coverd in dials, at least 50 buttons, 40 switches, 4 simultaneous keys, a plethora of other little doohickys and of course a giant emergency button! It made my day. It was limited edtion only 10 were going to be made.
In all of them the switches weren't hooked up to anything, but they looked like real buttons and switches so they probably could be rigged up to work with a first robot. It would be so awesome to show up with the emergency button millenium edition.
on second hand... this story may have been a, have to be there for moment.
