This meant there was limited we could do in terms of actually getting started. Despite these initial setbacks, we got the initial CAD designs started and got some of the initial circuit planning and building done. We were also able to allocate the roles to each member. In the lab, we were able to use an arduino emulator to emulate some of the parts although the testing was far from ideal without the actual circuit components. We worked as a group to realise the rest of the lab weeks would require more work due to the initial setbacks. It was planned the skittles would fall down an initi...
