Our original Week 1 post was removed, since our entire project idea has been changed completely. All posts on this page will henceforth refer to the Chameleon Mimicry: Insect Eliminator project. This post will be published in lieu of our first weekly update.
To put our new proposal briefly: We are attempting to
completely rethink the traditional flyswatter by mimicking the highly effective
chameleon tongue. The goal is to develop a device which uses a highly accurate
linear motion to rapidly target and capture insects resting on a static
surface. More detailed information will be presented in week 2, once we have
conducted further research and brainstorming of potential prototypes.
This blog contains several pages that will supplemental information
that may be useful to anybody wanting to replicate this project in the future.
On the navigation bar above, we have included sections for background
information, tutorials, and FAQs. These pages will be updated throughout the
developmental process in order to pave the way for those wishing to replicate
our work.
