Timeline w/Milestones
- Milestone 1: Create the backrest element using fabrics and mechanics (3/28)
- Determine fabric materials to be used and design look of backrest
- Figure out mechanical structure of the inside to allow for compression and subsequent movement of strings to the ceiling
- Put backrest together
- Milestone 2: Create basic curtain/string system that will drop (4/4)
- Create a mechanical structure on the celling that takes input from leaning on the backrest to suspend strings downward
- Determine fabrics and design of curtain
- Sew curtain and combine it with the string system connected to the ceiling
- Milestone 3: Create a second string/pulley system that suspends next to the curtain allowing for movement within the curtain (4/11)
- Determine what materials and elements we want to move within the curtain and make them
- Create a mechanical structure that connects these elements to a series of strings on the other side of the curtain
- Milestone 4: Create an automated display of elements within the curtain that runs without user input (4/20)
- Design what we want this element to look like
- Program the automation portion of the design
