I’m not sure if you were trying to go for astronaut-vibes, but the posture of the person + the cables attached definitely made me think of one.

I thought this was an interesting concept, and your LED display definitely made it easy to understand what was going on. The servo was somewhat necessary given the constraints of the assignment, and was an interesting addition, but I’m not sure if added as much meaning to the project as the LED board or the person itself. Perhaps there’s a balance between the servo’s function and the display’s function that would tie them together a little more?

Overall, *really* good job!

It would have been nice to see the servo motor working along with the LEDs but I understand the complication. You mention that the servo does not quite emulate the type of motion that you desired for this concept. I was wondering if you considered turning the motor on its side so that the ‘side to side’ motion could turn into an ‘up and down’ motion that could be a little more controlled than that of the solenoid.
