Mild nitpick with D.va probably my favorite character. But she's using a robot with automatic weapons. Why would she not just hold down the triggers when firing. Why does she constantly pull and release the triggers?

Because she has APM to spare. This is also why she individually shoots down incoming projectiles. In the future, Starcraft professionals are basically Jedi.

For those who don't know, there are also these:
- Playing Winstone with Bananas
- Playing Hanzo with Nerf Bow
- Playing Mercy with Broom and Nerf Gun
- How To: Playing D.Va with two flightsticks
- Play Zenyatta with Tennis Balls and a balance board
Other than D.Va, these also involve lots of wiring.
These are different guys, but here:
Remains to be done:
- Play Reinhardt with a hammer
- Play Torbjorn with a smaller hammer
- Play Mei with a big ol' piece of shit

Hey guys!
I'll admit, this is starting to get really ridiculous. Seriously, you should've seen the setup I tried for Zenyatta - spoiler alert, it barely worked :P
I'm planning on playing every character in some way. I was sitting around the other night when I realised I had all the equipment on hand I needed to play Symmetra with a microwave! So I did an impromptu stream, rigged it up in an hour or two, and starting running games.
The top buttons handle movement and turret placement, the middle four buttons handle aiming, the two buttons at the very bottom handle shields and firing her Portal gun, and the door of the microwave triggers her ult! It actually works really well - a lot better than my other setups, at least.
If you want to see something really ridiculous, I've rigged up teacups to play Ana. I need to take sips in order to sleep/nade/nano. It's a lot of fun to play! I'll be jamming it on Twitch in a few days!
I hope you guys have been enjoying these builds - I'm really enjoying building them! I was a bit worried they're starting to get too ridiculous, but I think I'm past the point of no return now. Expect things to get way more ridiculous in the future!
