Jake Easton has built a robotic mousetrap, Better Mousetrap. Using a complex series of solenoids, electronic control circuitry and a heavy-duty pneumatic actuator. Its 40 to 60 PSI of compressed air can power the strike hammer with up to 102 lbs.

won't the mouse be frightened by that red light?

It's too bad that such cleverness to put together this trap is not used for better things.  Mice can be humanely trapped and relocated, instead of being killed as if it were fun.

In any case, I definitely don't find this trap a "Cool" thing and you have disappointed an avid follower of your website.

Its 40 to 60 PSI of compressed air can power the strike hammer with up to 102 lbs.... shooting the blood, brains & guts up to 20 feet across your white carpet!

So they bought a sweet little trusting tame mouse at the pet shop and they killed it. This made me sick. So instead of enjoying this website, I now hate it.
