gaming Thought of a way to earn "play coins" on my 3DS without having to go on walks.

[Goodra 531]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a really healthy guy (I go for jogs and work out almost everyday), but I find t inconvenient to take my 3DS with me on walks. This is because it takes up too much space in my pocket, I don't want to loose it, and I don't want it to get stolen. Thankfully, Ive thought of a method of getting "play coins" without having to go on walks:

 

What I need is a device with a small table (big enough to put my 3DS on) that ascends and descends over and over again at any speed. Does anyone know where I could find such a device? Or if anyone else has any other ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

You could always just shake the bloody thing. I've done it at times. But I still feel that walking is the best option. This probably didn't help.

You could put it on top of a washing machine and let it shake... or mybe just put it in a backpack, put it on your back, and ride a pogo stick!

You could drag the table back and forth.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to bring it with you on walks and jogs, but I don't think there's any other way. Sorry.

Might I ask what you're going to spend the Play Coins on?

The 4 new "Streetpass MiiPlaza" games, specifically, Warrior's way. Thanks for the tips tho. I think I'll try to bring it on my jogs.

you can easily make such a device by yourself.

all you need is:

electric motor

small table

asymetric axle with driveshaft (very easy to make)

and some construction materials (preferably wood)

i think i got a nice concept in my head :3

if you like, i can draw you a simple blueprint

You could always use some duck tape to fix your 3DS on your arm! Seriously though, I think the best way to do it is to take it with me whenever I have some sort of backpack or bag.

One easy thing to do as well if you need some quick coins is to jog in place.

 

It may feel a bit tiring, but it works most of the times for me.

I sometimes just shake it to get play coins, but if you loosen your grip...

 

I understand not wanting to get it stolen. What I would do is put it in a bag, or walk around your house with it.

I would try setting it on top of the ol' washing machine. I remember using that method for the pokewalker and it worked pretty well. Of course, our washing machine was really old and shook pretty bad.

You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record baby, right round, round, round.

 

Since the 3DS and the PokeWalker work on the same technology, you should be able to pull this off with a 3DS too! Just get a good brand of duct tape!
