I wish this girl nothing but the best in life, such ingenuity should be admired
Exactly, few people use their time constructively
Few people have the time for ingenious application of construction adhesive.
Is that a pun? I appreciate it.
Unlike all of us on reddit scrolling. /s
The voice sounds like a boy, not girl. He's Iranian so likely currently more stressed than anything in else thanks to Mr Potato Face's bombs. Hes explaining how because it's pipes and cardboard etc. that there is a delay but he'll adjust and fix those. Proud of him as an Iranian. موفق باشیپسر، هر جا که هستی.
Yeah, this was really cool.
wait is the cardboard actually wired up or nah
That's awesome. All the best to her.
Driving and holding a phone.... She's already
☕
Her enthusiasm describing the system is so wholesome
Engineers pay thousands for R&D, and she just solved it with cardboard, string, and pure passion
Just wow!
man, persian language is like music
Today you've made your ancestors proud becoming an engineer right in front of us all.

What a great opportunity for Sony to score some social points and deflect from their recent decisions regarding physical media. I want to hear that they found this kid and gave them a driving sim controller kit…
“Where there is will there is way” girl you proved this.
Engineer in the making. Someone should create a gofundme to buy this child a proper setup for their work.
Coming soon from Nintendo.
They already did that. Or is that the joke
just genius 😎!!!
That is awesome.
Her parents should foster that natural engineering talent she has.
I dreamt of doing shit like this when I first got a n64 and Xbox.
Thats fucking nuts holy shit
Let that mind explore!
Can I place an order for one? 😊
But you must assemble those, lol..!!
Ohh 😬 that’s going to be tuff
"Logitech would like to have a word with you." /s Love this kind of stuff. There needs to be more of this out there instead of just the hundreds of dollars worth of steering wheel before add-ons.
I love this kind of stuff. She could definitely make make some cool stuff with a 3d printer. Then again, maybe that's the plan and this is simply a proof of concept/prototype.
Perfect for a racing sim game like GTA V
a wonderful abstract thinking human. I love what she did.
Thank the god it wasn't a Nintendo controller, she'd be in jail by now.

“The Iranian girl built IN HER HOUSE.. WITH A BOX OF CARDBOARD.”
genius
Farsi. Iranian, Afghani?
Yes Iranian Farsi
Beautiful language, beautiful accent, beautiful people, amazing country
Get this girl a scholarship to a school with a good mechanical engineering program.
Nintendo: That'll be $80
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer.
Man, that kid is a genius
Can’t turn left with that rig
The gear shift should be used to pan the camera
Heck, I'm amazed she got modded cars in lol ... I always manage to screw that up.
You go girl!
This is awesome! Goodness gracious what an engineer!
Proceeds to drive in 3rd person mode…
This is just brilliant !!!
Not gonna cite the original creator? Just "a girl"?
Smells like dad help.
Steering doesn’t really seem to work or maybe a skill issue
I wish I had half of her dedication. Or her ingenuity.
Quite impressive! Though I hope she can improve on the design a bit, there seems to be some latency issues with input, and I can tell from how the wire is tied around the joystick that it's going to suffer from an input gradient too. Easy fixez for most of them, it's just going for a more secure and stiffer string around the joystick part, and reducing friction around their connections. Basically less wasted energy, the better. It would translate to less input lag and faster directional response. All in all, not impossible even with a cardboard chassis. You would be surprised what you could make with that lol I remember our class once made an M16 for 8th grade, and I added a trigger and spring loaded bolt (also cardboard, though the latter had popsicle sticks too) to it, for the extra realism lol
Cool you are smarter than a child.
That's neat
Make a headset with string and rubber bands that connects to the right joystick so that head movements change camera positions. Use a rig that swings the screen around with your head as well so that by turning your head to the right, the in-game camera swings around to the left of the car (so you're facing right) and at the same time you're not facing away from the screen. TRUE IMMERSION.
Get this girl into MIT immediately!
Future engineer! Very cool
Amazing 👏🏼
How did she press the buttons?
Future engineer...
She has a bright future in engineering.
She playing gta 5!
damn….she’s going straight to MIT/Cal Tech. great for her!!! huge!!!
this is so cool 😭😭

This was very cute. Very creative.
Very wholesome! With Parkinson's, I don't have fine motor control, but the wheel and foot pedal may let me attempt a PS5 racing game.
Future engineer right there.
Her next plan: homemade ballistic missile 😂
r/DiWhy
I can understand why powerful men might be afraid of Iranian women's ingenuity
He should sell directions for $5.
So stuff we did in thr late 80s and 90s is cool again?
And America thinks they can stop Iranians from building nukes? This little girl is Tony Starking a full racing sim with cardboard and elastics. /s Awesome work kid!
Drives like a woman
☕
Damn, someone get that girl a 3d printer or something! The fact that she did all that with only cardboard and string is absolutely fucking amazing though. I'd love to know how long it took her to build.
