Idea

• The system consists of two parts:
  • 1) A 3D printed portal gun from our beloved Rick and morty, in which resides an esp8266 with some blinky stuff and batteries and display.
  • 2) A charging station for 1) which includes a Raspberry Pi (or clones) which has connection to internet over LAN and provides a Access Point
• You can go physically near to a charging station of other memebers to leave your mark there, which will be uploaded to the blockchain.
• Rewards will be seasonal quests (everyone could create it, but not sure now) like estimating the "Rickest Rick", who travelled most among the universes.
• Initally, when you MAKE such a system, you will get a unique universe identifier (something like C-137 + universe level (like miniverse) + planet name (like pluto ;) ) ) and then this will assigned to something like a gpg-key-similar thingy that not other evil Ricks can highjack you.
• I am not sure but if we introduce something like cryptocurrency (called Schmeckles or Galactic Federation Units) then should the maker labs hand out some awesome 3D printed stuff? Need to think about that.
• Since the history is traceable, you can calculate a score for
  • how far
  • how many
  • how difficult (depending of riddle)
  • how fast
  • rating for the base-stations: how awesome
• There will also be a main page managing, watching current state of games and "create" and "authenticate" users (defies the whole purpose actually, but yeah need to think about that)

Purpose

• pass me butter
• no seriously, it is for the makerlabContest, I will create a instructables entry so as many planets, universes and timelines could be visited.
• I am thinking about selling kits, or ready to use products to make money for the Mumalab-Fund. I dont know the legal stuff about this, maybe someone can inform me about this.

Technical notes and remarks and suggestions

• use mega seeds
