Sunjana:
I was out sick with Covid this whole week, but today I designed some molds that would enable me to do a color overlap using only 2 layers. One layer would consist of the 2 colors (red and blue for example), while the other layer would enable one of the colors (blue) to travel into the channel in that layer, and thus appear to be overlapping with the red, which would be taking a continuous path forward.

Due to being sick, it was difficult for both of us to work in person. I was able to start a silicone test where I used the Dragon Skin 20 to test the the “locking” mechanism in the middle channel. For this test, we added more amount of liquid and air than our previous tests and the flow between the repositories were much more smooth, however, the locking mechanism wasn’t working.
Our team also had a slight pivot as we realized that the locking mechanism is not as achievable as we had hoped, so we decided to focus on the layering of colors and patterns. We started to design and build new designs to test. We are hopeful that this week we can do final pattern tests so that next week we can start building our final for the presentation! In our final, we hope to show the contrast of a more rigid pattern to a more curved pattern.
