This is the Instructions to a voice activated Geo cache I made At the begging of the year. It started out about day dreaming about winning a contest for the coolest project. Not long after on a pleasant Sunday we were out with our new GPS and we were going on our first Geo Cache hunt ( which Luke Bender a friend of my Dads had told him was lots of fun.) We started talking about androids then star trek. If you have ever met or do meet my father you will realize that this seems quite normal as he is very Android like himself. He has always been a star trek fan and brought me up watching re-runs. This is the man who managed to convince his three year old daughter that she was an android up until I entered Kindergarten and the teacher told me I was a little girl and had to behave like one. Knowing this I am sure that it comes to no surprise that all of a sudden we had an idea to make a box that opened at voice command like the one in the Paradise Lost Episode of the original Star Trek the one where Captain Kirk accidentally opened, fell down, and lost his memory in a obsolesce shrine. Well this little ditty is what we came up with, it took about 2 months to make, a bit of money, lots of hard work, a burnt finger and a few tears. Then we went and hid it out in the world. GO FIGURE. All in all it was a great project and if you enjoy the outdoors, electronics or anything in between I'm sure you will like this project.
You can find the cache at Geocahing.com under Paradise Lost
Here is a video of the box working
Zosimos made this great video log of his experience finding the cache just be warned it is defiantly considered a spoiler. But fun to watch if you've been to the cache or you wont ever go.
