And so it came to pass that the first season of the Maker Challenge came to an end. We had cogitated, debated, researched, laughed, scratched heads and learned a lot! But, significantly, WE HAD A HULL !!! — and we weren't afraid to butcher it! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jim had kindly donated the hull of an old radio controlled boat for us to use as our test-bed. Our first job was to strip back the superstructure and remove the old diesel engine. We plan to install a one-piece deck on the whole thing and make it waterproof yet still have easy access to the gubbins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've come a long way from our initial (vague) brief. Although there's still long way to go to complete STAGE 1, we're making good headway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This drew to a close our 8 weeks together. Marcel went off to work in the UK for the whole of September and on his return discovered that his required paperwork for working with children under the auspices of the Digital Greenhouse had expired. Oh joy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, sadly, we're on hiatus until the paperwork is sorted out but the will to continue is there — not least because a box of radio gear has arrived, ready to be put to good use! ;) Watch this space…</div>

<br />
We also had a good deal of discussion about the size of boat that we need to fulfil STAGE 1. A small, 3D printed boat was suggested however we agreed that it might not cope with rough water when we get to STAGE 2 — meaning we'll have to start again.<br />
<br />
A hull would be researched, seeking the advise of a local model boating expert as to the size of motor and prop that we will need to achieve 5-10mph cruise speed.<br />

It was such a privilege to have him join us and add his experience to our project.<br />
<br />
We discussed at length the challenges he faced in designing 'Revelation II'. He explained that it no longer existed but he had answered the questions that he had set out with.<br />

We also started to set out our road map — breaking down the challenge into manageable chunks and discussing the saying: "There's no such thing as a big problem."<br />

<br />
The design process involves lots of stages. Without each step we run the risk of ploughing headlong into a major error that means starting again. You know; "Measure twice: cut once!"<br />
<br />
So far we've drawn schematic diagrams of our intended circuit, built a mockup and translated that into a circuit design that works on a type of circuit board called 'stripboard' — now we're cutting boards and cutting tracks ready for the components.<br />

The motion sensing night light is a dandy little device that can live in a bedroom, hallway or indeed any place where you're likely to be moving around in otherwise darkness.<br />
<br />
It uses a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor" target="_blank">PIR sensor</a> — Passive Infrared — to detect temperature changes in a room. This low level heat (infrared light) is emitted from our bodies so when we move about it detects our movement.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A breakdown of a PIR sensor showing how the multifaceted lens creates lots of moving spots of light on the sensor.<br />Image: Wikipedia</td></tr>

<br />
Once triggered, a <u>titchy</u> computer called a microcontroller, will fade up some LED lights and then slowly fade them down again when no movement is sensed. We'll be programming these microcontrollers to do exactly what we want in the weeks to come.<br />
<br />
It certainly beats having to put the room lights on when you get up in the middle of the night!<br />

Our first project of the year is quite a change of pace and material. It'll be a short project — maybe 3-4 weeks — which involves <b>willow rods, masking tape, tissue paper and PVA glue.</b><br />
<br />
On <b>Saturday 1 March</b>, The Guernsey Arts Commission is staging a lantern parade — the first of it's kind in Guernsey! They're aiming for around 300 lanterns to be carried up through Town to Candie Gardens. It will be quite a spectacle. The parade will be lead by a UK drum performance group called Spark. I'm very excited about this alone — check out the <a href="http://www.worldbeatersmusic.com/" target="_blank">videos on their website</a>! <br />

Loving the concept of the event, I have secured the materials required for us to make our own lanterns and join the party! I just hope all of our makers and families can come along!<br />
<br />
Here's a few pics of the work so far…<br />

Willow is beautiful material — not just to look at but also to work with. We've already talked about coppicing and little about the many varieties. You can read more, <a href="http://www.musgrovewillows.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm encouraging the makers to do everything themselves like cutting the willow and preparing the masking tape. It seems like it's the first time many of them have handled masking tape and are quite surprised by some of it's properties. New skills are being learned all the time — even seemingly simple things like tearing tape into regular lengths can be a fiddly task.<br />
<br />
This week we'll be lofting up from the base to form the pyramid shape of the lantern. It's amazing to see a three dimensional form suddenly spring out of such basic components. My mind easily wanders to other ideas that could be made this way…<br />

We're working on the race car release mechanism — here, specifically, the method of resetting it for the next race.</div>

A mitre-box is a big help for making accurate cuts.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, the rails which the cars straddle, have turned out not to have been cut to the size specified. As you can see above, "<b>68mm</b>" has been interpreted loosely! It has meant a stripping of the 3 lengths of track which had already been constructed and a return to the timber yard. In the process, we've taken the opportunity to upgrade the rails to plywood which I expect to be much more robust than the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MDF</a> we started with.</div>
