Week 3

We decided to go with color LCD Game Table.

We began prototyping parts on solid works.

Here is a video from YouTube demonstrating the tetris game:
our prototype gaming table will have similar game as this.

Week 2

We brain stormed a few gaming ideas that we would be able to program on Arduino.

LCD Stacker Game example:



LED Matrix Tetris example:



We decided use Color LCD to run Tetris and/or Stacker game.

Week1

Team met today at 3:30 in Lydon Library to begin project discussion. First on the agenda: picking a team name. One trip to a random word generator later, it was decided that the team's name would be the coincidentally generated "Kiosk Engineer."

Next was finding impressive arduino-related videos, of which these were chosen:



The final matter was brainstorming ideas for our project: specific criteria are that it (obviously) must incorporate an Arduino microcontroller, as well as at least one 3D-printed part. Designs proposed were split into two groups: vehicular and non-vehicular devices. Non-vehicular devices proposed were an automated rail system capable of obtaining beverages without requiring one to leave their seat, and an entertainment suite capable of performing a laser light show. Vehicular designs were more broad, simply identifying that it would incorporate a mobile robot that would fulfill some not-yet-described purpose. One potential role a vehicular robot could fulfill is that of a military reconnaissance drone, capable of being controlled remotely to investigate a dangerous area without putting soldiers in harm's way.

Before leaving, a group photo was taken as proof of the team's meeting.
