DAY 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

We pulled apart most of the e-junk we had. One of the printers still worked and had movement so we decided to use it for our machine. <\/p>\n

MATERIALS:
\nGuitar Hero
\nDigital Video Recorder
\n2 printers (new and old)
\nInternet router<\/p>\n

After putting everything apart, this is what we have available and that is usable:<\/p>\n

1 printer has slide\/drop motion
\nOlder printer not working, still not broken down.
\n1 motor from digi recorder hard drive
\n1 fan
\n1 touch sensor
\n1 lever
\n1 clicker<\/p>\n

Here’s a video inspecting the newer printer prior to decide if we use it or not<\/a><\/p>\n

DAY 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

We watch the “This too shall pass” music video to draw inspiration and decided on what our part of the machine would do.
\nWe finished pulling apart the devices we had, including the old printer.
\nThe old printer doesn’t work, so from there we got the pieces to make the input for the machine. From the wireless router we got the antenna that holds the guitar hero leveler. We glued in part of the guitar hero’s neck to the printer’s cartridge holder so it can hit it once the printer is on.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video <\/a>of the motion and more pictures<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
