Construction begins

This weekend we started putting up the support studs for our panels. We're having issues getting them to stick so it looks like we're going to have to screw them in. Don't tell facilities!
There has been some debate over whether or not paint the ceiling lime green (we have other lime green accents in the room). I'm personally for it. You wouldn't see too much of it behind the faux ceiling so it wouldn't be too overwhelming. The rest of the room is going to be black and wood finished so I think it will be a nice contrast.
Other than that, several groups are struggling to get their Rhino files done for our "model as prototype" as Mark calls it. The deadline is tomorrow. We'll see if we make it.

Not enough time to write

I knew I'd be busy, but I didn't think I'd be so busy that I couldn't find time to post to this blog. Unfortunately that's what has happened. Quick update: the design is mostly set. We went with the other group's scheme due to cost and further development. I'm in the new lighting group and I'm trying to learn programming so we might be able to use the Arduino board. We'll see how that pans out.
