Hack and Slap

A physical product or electro-mechanical control system, usually made by an engineering person, or DIY addict, that involves hacking 1 or more official branded products, and slapping them together to create a new, mostly working product. The system or product can range from basic controls to complex monitoring systems, and can be a mix of software, circuits and 3D printed parts. Sometimes can be open source and available on Github.

Person 1: Did you see that Hack and Slap respiratory system on YouTube? It's just a bunch of drone parts running on a Arduino!

Person 2: Yeah that Hack n Slap shit barely works and is a long way from being FDA approved!

Person 3: True, but Hack Slaps are the very meaning of innovation and require no official approval for it's wacky existence.
