Bumped into a strawberry cake shaped candy box at a Japanese deli nearby school today. I want to turn it into a game controller. The plastic strawberry on top is detachable so I decided to make a strawberry fishing game with this cake box. Imagining a candy box desperately want to become a fruit cake – oh wow.
With some Lego Technic parts and a lever switch, with some super glue, I made a simple fishing mechanism that allows the player to “fish” the top fruit piece.
Core mechanism:
1 Limit (Lever) Switch Roller
1 Lego Axle 4 with End Stop (87083)
1 Lego Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Bent (4 – 4) Thick
1 Lego Technic Gear 24 Tooth
Limit (Lever) Switch Roller 
Lego Axle 4 with End Stop (87083) 
Lego Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Bent (4 – 4) Thick 
Lego Technic Gear 24 Tooth
I removed half of the teeth on the gear to make enough space for the lever switch to click and bounce back. I experimented with different locations for the lever switch in relation to the gear and found the most smooth one and glued it down. The extra technic arm (grey) to the right is glued to the black one for support also provides a bigger contact area for the switch.
Handle:
1 Lego Axle Connector with Axle Hole (32039)
1 Lego Axle 2 (3704)
1 Lego Technic, Axle and Pin Connector (32013)
1 Lego Connector Peg
1 Lego Pin Connector Round 2L
1 Lego Technic 1/2 Bush
