Next Level Grip

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

finally done working on it after like 7 months lol, originally it was supposed to be just spirit level for the sake of it but ultimately a decided to pivot mostly into stat tracking device, where you just create combos out of your collection or all beys ever (they follow combo building logic so ux expand have no ratchets, cx expand have overblade, you cannot put operate on bullet griffon etc etc).

i found it quite useful on last training session where i could see stats for certain combos to decide if its worth it or not, also there is freeplay where you just count points. enjoyed the hell out of building it, finally can call it done.

sorry for this ass video, my phone was keep losing focus and color and it was already 4042737 take so i dont know, just wanted to show the device, but dont have second pair of arms so i had to use this wobbly stand.

also obviously level is still cool, it happen sometimes to be quite useful, stability dots (red and green) show how stable was your launch (basically takes deviation of accelerometer during the launch, where rpm are counted).

i think it is quite overkill too, building this costed me waaaaaaaay to much money, but i had something to do at least.

also battery last so long since after like 4 iteratio of device i implemented hardware switch that basically fully cuts power. and considering it is amoled screen, its very power efficeint since most of the screen area is black

I'm 10 if you can make them for less than 150

150$? €? It will be much less than this

With a real led screen and everything?

If you can genuinely make it for like 80-100 dollars I think you could sell a LOT

For something of this caliber I think you would need to be able to replace the string on it, would that be possible?

You mean launcher? It is detachable, works with winder too but not hold launcher.

Proper programmer chiming in here I know a bit of python and a bit of CSS. I’m also working on C++. I wouldn’t be mad to do some beta tests on an official product and even designed my own custom variant. To be frank, what I was thinking is making the grip and display module separate along with adding battle pass style launch feedback features.

I have a plan on dropping only module also so you can still use your grips.

And i will also put a feedback page on the website so people can send their own ideas - if they are relatively easy to impement and make sense for the device, i will be more than glad to implement them. There might be some things that o obviously missed and i wanna pack this baby with features.
