I was told the Snoo was the bees knees of baby rockers. Damn it was pricey (1600) bucks. I luckily saw a friend's model in action. Figured it can't be hard to make! Bought myself an Arduino, a stepper motor, a few trips to home depot to get some 2*6s (needed a bit of experimentation here) as a base and a lazy Susan swivel. Voila! Hard work but a lot of fun as I not only had a working rocker (definitely wasn't as pretty as the Snoo but also learn a lot of mechanical engineering in the process. Oh yeah I did rent the Snoo for a month so the baby would have something while I was working at it.
haha - nice. By the way for me it was more the "principle" than practicality. I found tons of much simpler solutions that would have worked. Snoo charging that crazy mullah was something I couldnt accept!
