wednesday woes

[the aftermath]

update...

motors
tried to find the sweet spot. right now my pulse delay is around 1200 - 1500, and the motors run smoothly but they're overheating like crazy. my acrylic pulleys are melting, so need to cut some more. should try to cut the middle hole, maybe around 40 mils in diameter with slits to fit. need more radius for sizable rotational effect... i'll try cutting 1in, 2in, and perhaps 3in pieces.

tentacles
i like the fluidity of the silk thread. thoughts on EL wire... could illuminate when photosensors are dark.
