I made a machine that you type a word (usually insults) into and then it says it in a robo-voice (only in the chat, sadly) when you push the button.
And a handheld machine where you pre-load it with reagents, close it up, type in how much of you want the reagent to be smoked, and then when you push the button it vents that smoke into the air.
You can also do things like program drones to move around on a delay circuit, and then fire an event when they stop from hitting a person/wall. Tie this to a grenade primer, preferably having figured out how to actually attach the grenade first, and you've got yourself a fancier version of a mousetrap rc-car bomb.
It honestly seems like it could be pretty sophisticated; Sartorius posts about it on the Discord sometimes, and you can save and copy a script such that as long as you have the same parts in two different machines, the same code will trigger the same behavior.
I hate TG's research tho, even though people tend to get enough of it done to make the integrated circuit printer (really, only a few levels of progress, which you can get in a few good minutes), so I host it on a private instance and just spawn shit in. It's honestly really awesome to use. The fact it's made through R&D makes it Science's job rather than going to the Engineers (who are likely busy with the Supermatter, or the Singularity, or the Big Fucking Electric Ball that Turns People to Dust) or, in a comparative case, the Mechanics.
(Speaking of the fruits of R&D: laser guns, portal guns, bags of holding, ADVANCED MOPS. . .)
