Plus.. making it yourself is always much more fun than buying it :P

yes but they are usually cheep and worthless if you are a yoyo fan you can buy a good yoyo and use this simple mod

[mrmath]

Don't they sell yo-yos with ligths in them already? For less than $5 or $10 a pop, it almost seems more worth while to just buy it.

if you get a light weight spring and a sodering iron you can make a switch that will kick on when ever you trow it 1 spring 1 thin metal rod 1 peace of wood or circuit board push the rod through the center of either take come pliers and straiten out some of the spring and slip it around the rod (of course you want one ot 2 sizes biger for the spring to have soace) now pish the stratend end though and soder the pos to the sprin and the neg to the rod. there you go one gravity switch
