    • Here's the Bop-It Toy! Compared to older versions of the game this one is more compact, thus allowing for more portability.

    • Next we'll remove the batteries. Fortunately when purchasing the toy these batteries were included.

    • Now we're ready to take apart the rest of the Bop-It toy.

    • For the two additional screws in the middle we needed to use a thinner, longer Phillips screwdriver to reach the screws.

    • When pulling both parts of the game apart, we made sure that no loose parts such as the spring shown fell off.

    • With the Bop It opened up, we can see the different components that make the game work:

    • The button used to detect a twist. Looks like instead of using a dedicated sensor to detect a twist, the toy connects the twist to a lever to push a button. Maybe this was done to save money, but this may not make the toy as durable.

    • The button used to detect a pull. Like the twist part, this also uses a button instead of a dedicated sensor.

    • The button that detects a bop. Since a bop is just a button press, this one doesn't need any additional fancy mechanical parts.

    • The speaker. It looks like it has a spring over it that makes "bopping it" as fun as it is.

    • The microcontroller. It's covered up by a glob top, so we can't actually tell what type of microcontroller it is unfortunately.

    • Now let's see if there's anything else under the PCB.

    • Unfortunately, there wasn't really much to see beside the reset button and a few capacitors.

    • Alright, just a few more screws to go.

    • Along with the speakers itself, we could also see another spring connected to it. This spring might be there to protect the speaker from any damage after "bopping it".

    • Thanks for taking a look at this teardown! Special thanks to Travis Vo for helping out with the teardown.
