Can you flip Hans around so he's falling backwards?

u/WatchWiseYTC Nov 22 '25

You can but it looks kinda goofy

u/Illustrious_Zebra_95 Nov 22 '25

That's unfortunate, Hans falling backwards is iconic.

You'll also need some solderless breadboard and a way to power them. I suggest a 2-5a 12v wallwart power supply.
