That's right, ALTOIDS. You can even smell it a bit! Everything is portable and can be fitted into a tiny package when you're done playing with yourself _. Then, after playing with the ROMP, you'll get a little toy that you can place in your pocket(well, if they are large enough, it's not THAT small). This is all made from household items and maybe a tool which you can borrow from your neighbor or something.

Plenty of room for improvising. I used some tools just to make it a bit faster, since I don't want to spend too much time on this.
Materials
-Altoids Can/Base of sorts
-Broken Antenna. A dowel or something similar will do fine, although probably less portable
-Rope/String/Shoelace?
-Magnets. I used NeoDymium magnets from an old hard drive, they seem a bit TOO strong for this purpose, so I suggest weaker magnets for the base, and maybe, a strong one on the string.
-2 Paper Clips. I made the mistake of making them too long, therefor attracting the pendulum to the antenna. This is OPTIONAL, since hot gluing it will work fine, and probably better, although sacrificing portablility.
-Hot Glue sticks. For gluing the pole's base, use hot glue or somthing strong to hold it togethe.
Tools
-Drill. Power drill or hand dril is fine, although use something to make it drill straight, else it'll slide off. Basically, something to make a hole big enough for the antenna/pole to fit through.
-Hacksaw. A power saw is acceptable if your antenna is the strong kind(with layers inside of it so it's thicker), but a hacksaw is great for cheaper, thinner antennas.
-Hot Glue Gun. To attach holder for pole/antenna.
-Marker. Use it to estimate measurement, since there is no true need for a ruler here, you can estimate the lengths you need and it'll work out fine. You can just estimate using your hands too.
-Bench Grinder or File. Cutting the antenna WILL leave the sides roughed up, and you need to file/grind it down or else it'll cut you.

These were the only magnets I could find so that's what I used. After seeing how much time it took me to write up the steps, don't expect too much stuff from me xD. I just found my old speaker magnets, so might use those(but these are actually danerously sharp).
