$20 VX Rig

The Rig

My buddy bet that I couldn't make a rig that met VX3 standards for under $20. Not my best work, but I won myself some good beer out of it! And yes, by the way, the chassis on the field manipulator sub frame is a disposable cup.

I was honestly surprised at how well this makeshift super-toroidal function matrix actually worked. I could actually see myself using this in a proper build.

I know this sub ansible oscillation point is unshielded, but the low voltage in the old cell phone parts I used means it won't kill me. Hopefully.

I went to the trouble of making a 33mm mid wave sonic manipulator, turns out I didn't need one!

I was super lucky, I found an old hard-bound ionic motivator at a garage sale. I honestly didn't think I'd get one for less than $50. It still had 75% charge too!

My blueprints in case anyone wants to try out the same build. If you do give it a go, please remember that it's super low quality, so use safety gear and/or don't sue me.
