Stories about success often focus on the end result -- the "big win" that makes all those pesky failures along the way have meaning. But for makers, the failures are just as important -- sometimes even more so -- than the end result, because of what was learned along the way.

From there, get busy building by using the principles of tension and symmetry to make an "impossible" tensegrity planter. Then, update a classic Magic 8-Ball with a Raspberry Pi and divine your fortune with a set of custom GIF reactions.
