Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

This Robot Bowl game at Crafty Planet, Minneapolis actually has little to nothing to do with Electromagnetics

So you’re at the fabric store. You’re just walking around, minding your own business, looking at all the fancy hipster fabrics you could get your hands on when BAM. There it is. Robot Bowling. The most fantastical robot-and-bowling arcade video game you’ve basically ever seen. You put your eyeballs all over it, and yes, yes, it’s even functional.

You’ve got to use your hands. It’s like a baby’s game. The store that this lovely game is at is Crafty Planet “Saving the World One Stitch at a Time.” You simply must visit.

This sort of found-and-placed situation, (Crafty Planet found this game at some sort of antique store or the like, then put it in their store to increase their hipness factor,) is common in the greater Minneapolis area. Take Galactic Pizza for example: check out the chairs and tables, not to mention the floor.
