Project 3 almost done

Well its been a really stressful couple of days but we are just about there.. Hong and I have been working pretty solidly to get the fabrication and circuitry done. We have run into quite a few hiccups in the process but managed to work through most of them, although it would of been nicer if we had started fabrication earlier (a lot earlier) so we wouldn't of been so rushed, and as a result, been able to come up with some better solutions to several of the issues that came up.

For example, The fan, which was the best I could find the fitted our requirements regarding size (the case had already been constructed at this stage) was still not powerful enough to make the lasers visible, but we just didn't have time to really sort this out unfortunately.

Also, the excess wires that connected the panels, allowing them to be moved, couldn't really be implemented into the case very well, At the last minute Hong suggested soldering small pins to the ends of each of the wires and plugging them into the side of the case, but we didn't have anywhere to fabricate the plugs for these pins, and as the case was already built, (and it was the day before hand in) it was unfortunately too late to implement this.

With the fabrication now basically done, Jenni and I have just been finishing off a few things up, such as making 'K.I.T.T' out of a matchbox car painted black with nail polish. We have begun to film the working game for the documentation and get all our files in order for handing in tomorrow. I also had worked on the groups research findings .pdf, expanding the 'Hardware' 'implementation' and 'Results' sections that Jenni had started to write.

He res a bit of a montage of today's work..
