FINALLY. FINALLY.

so, after our in class exhibition... we ran into a few problems.

EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING. EVERYTHING.
The bulbs would turn when they weren't supposed to, they turned too far, they wouldn't turn when they should... the piano-wire suspension system was twisting and pulling in all the wrong ways... the hemp tied around the neck of the bulbs ripped... everything went wrong.

After a lot of frustration we figured out that the weird bulb movements were due to a problem with our soldering. The only problem was... we had already super glued everything.

shoot. me.

So a very long (and pretty) Saturday was spent indoors in the lab away from the nice sunshine ( i really wish the light tunnel project people had a working life-sized model that day), fixing EVERYTHING.
 Basically, we had to un-epoxy, unsuperglue, cut, rip, snip everything and then re do everything.
I'll skip the excruciating details... I already had to live through it once.

TO THE HAPPY ENDING.
