+johnsingleton1974 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) One person claims it to be russian, another a bomb, the third, "thats awesome! I want one! I want a doughnut. I wonder if the reviewer /CO conversation will get posted in the begining geocacher topic any time soon for this being a possible terrorist device.

+addisonbr Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The constructor started a thread here on that box a few weeks ago: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=265687&pid=4565832 Quote Link to comment
+Nicodemus3 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I think I saw that on Gizmodo too. Pretty popular little box! Ditto, I've seen them on the forums in the past, but was surprised to see one pop up on Gizmodo the other day. I couldn't believe the discussion had almost zero mention of geocaching in it.

+dakboy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This idea has been around for a couple of years, it got popular when the Ardunio came out & people started building GPS devices around it. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 New cache You take the cache to the location It's a fun-looking device, but it's not a cache. It doesn't get left/planted/hidden anywhere. You could, however, create a puzzle cache based on it where the co-ordinates to the actual cache are secured inside. Quote Link to comment
aniyn Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Man, and you thought travelbugs going missing was a pain in the butt. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 If I remember the topic by the guy who built it he plans to use it as a travel bug. He knows it can't be a cache. Quote Link to comment
+G & C Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 For something that freakin' awesome, I'd see if GS would make a one time exception to allow it to exist and circulate if they could figure out a feasible manner in which to do so. Quote Link to comment
+GeoGeeBee Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I like the idea. Here are just a couple of my own ideas based on it. For a travel bug, I wonder how small it could be made? Leave off the box part, and just make a tag that says "This bug is now XXXX miles from home." I also think it could be viable as a geocache. Not a traveling cache, but perhaps a multi or a mystery. The listed coordinates take you to this box, which you then take to its "home" location to open it and sign the log. The only issue I can see would be multiple cachers searching at the same time. What happens when you arrive at GZ but someone else has taken the box to go look for the final location? Quote Link to comment
