I made a mousetrap (non-killing variety) out of LEGO a few years ago when I had
a mouse rooting around the house. It almost sort of worked too. The mouse
triggered it once but managed to escape. Unfortunately the initial design had a
few flaws. I think I focused more on form versus function. :) The mouse
decided to leave my house shortly thereafter so I never got a chance to improve
it.
It was actually collecting dust on my microwave up until a few weeks ago, when I
finally decided to take it apart.
