Rosie’s blog update says it all. Silly string, whipped cream… this project is getting better and better.
This week we spent a lot of time thinking about the gameplay aspect of our machine.
What she doesn’t mention is that we spent last Wednesday in the PComp lab, starting to build the four receptacles out of scrap wood. After taking a break and walking back into the shop, we realized that wood containers would block the audience’s view of the bottom half of the instrument. So we kept the bottom wood pieces and decided to build up their walls out of plexi.
Today, I lugged an 8×4 foot sheet of plexi into the lab, where it’s still sitting, waiting for Thanksgiving to be over so we can make it sing.
