Five high school students from Marin County and San Francisco have teamed up to build their own Viper starship simulator for Maker Faire 2012, so they can play Battlestar Galactica like a real boss.
Their goal is to build a Viper frame with 360 degree motion and simulator screens so you can really feel the space in your face. It's interesting to see how they went from LEGO model to 3d model before actually building the simulator frame, the whole process looks like it was a lot of fun to put together!
