Day 17 and 18: More project stuff

On Friday, we built motion modules for all the motions we'll need:

A functional arm! It only opens ~90 degrees though. This may need some modification before it really looks like an arm moving down...

A pusher for the flame (we changed the flamethrower move: instead of confetti, a little flame is going to extend out and back in of charizard's mouth).

A really geared up pouring mechanism, so we can control the flow of water with time pretty easily. Hopefully, no one will use more than 4 moves that require smoke...

We also built an arena out of poster board and punched holes with an exacto knife to hang it up with. However, we don't have anything to hang it /on/, which is a problem

Then on Tuesday, I started coding the HP meters in scratch and encountered a major setback: we only had four resistance sensors but eight moves. Prof Berg suggested using different resistors for different moves, so we modified the controller to have all the moves together.

Shirley went to buy all the building materials we'll need for this.. namely, felt, wire and tissue paper. We changed our minds (again): charizard will be felt on a wire frame and electrode tissue paper on a wire frame
