Plus it was easy to grasp what you were trying to demonstrate with this project, and I really appreciated that level of clarity.
It seems like a common problem with solenoids is that they overheat/break when in constant use. Adding a dimension to the project that responds to over-stimuli could help compensate for that? (overall, your project didn’t have any conceptual flaws). I really liked it!

The incessant clapping definitely stimulated feelings of happiness and excitement. I felt the urge to clap with Pat and I don’t think there’s much more to expect from the project. The next step with this I think would be to make the hands respond to not a potentiometer but a different form of input. Like someone getting closer, or someone clapping around it, etc. I think also being able to control the speed and having actual hands on the solenoids would have been great. Great work!
