I'll leave it up to the mods to decide if this is in the right place or not.
Anyhoo, today was my last day of school and the last project I did in my engineering class was this thing called "Reverse Engineering". Engineers usually create parts of a product and then assemble the whole thing, and the idea of Reverse Engineering is that you're working backwards from that (hence the use of the word "reverse").
Being a game nerd, I decided to do it on a GameCube controller. Click the spoiler to see the results...

A little over a month. Then I ended up going to war to get the stupid thing reassembled... >.<

I also had a picture of the disassembled controller, but I couldn't find it. I'll post it here if I can though!
