Toxic on stepper motors

  • Tried making the motors bi-directional, I'm not sure if it's as visually satisfying but let me know.
    When I messed around with this project last year I didn't expect it to blow up 10 months later but here we are. This channel was always just me uploading random games and projects as you can tell from my previous videos. If you have suggestions or ideas for new songs I'd love to hear them but don't expect consistent uploads :)

      @All-Out Alex it is sort of a joke. Memetically, "potato-vision" refers to particularly low-resolution or generally poor quality video playback. My device is an older one (circa 2014) and depending on signal strength, video playback isn't always great.
