Pistol Pong
I teamed up with Andy, Mandy and Allistar, and we thought about different possible interfaces for a pong controller (a moustache that you would touch was pretty high on our list). Then we decided to put the interface aside for a while, work on the technical part of the assignment. It took us a little while, and some advice by someone who has taken Networked Objetcs before about the correct order of hitting reset and "x" to get to the Xport's configuration menu, but once we accomplished that things went pretty smoothly.
On a trip to Ricky's to get mustaches, we came across this amazing set of two pink guns with holster, that we hacked (with aluminum foil) so that the trigger would be a switch. It was really satisfying to use as a controller, and once you got the hang of it, you could be pretty precise with the movement of the bar. Here's a photo of our finished pong controller in action:
