Pneumatic Playground - Week #6

11/20/2016

 

Summary:

With lessons learned from doingincline decline's massive, static and extremely heavyweight ceiling, we got started on the frames for walls have ears. Unlike the previous wooden model, each frame is now made up of coroplast (corrugated plastic sheets) and styrofoam, making it extremely lightweight. With each frame being able to mount separately on the wall, we are no longer limited to one static frame, but a series of modules behind the massive lycra frame. This means we can experiment with the arrangement and not be restricted to a fixed arrangement, especially when going to install on site. Now the setup is versatile and light.

In addition to building the frames, all modules and our circuit are fully hooked up and ready for programming as you can see in the test below. As of now the balloons are striped naked. Next week with the addition of spandex/ lycra on top; walls have ears ​will really be coming together.
