We talked to James about our project and how we will make it and he suggested we should put foam on every gap section of the animatronic tentacle so it wouldn't torn much by the force when it's being pulled by the pulley. Afterwards we went to the 3D labs to look for a material that we're going to use as the skeleton of our plant animatronic. But due to the busy area in 3D labs we were able to go at 3:00pm which we don't have much time left to gather some materials and cut the skeleton section for our animatronic tentacle plant. The guys in 3D labs told us they have acrylic which is 6 mm thick and it should be enough for us to use for our project. Since we don't have much time we just went on looking for a scrap wood. We found a hard wood which is 16 mm thick. It is really heavy but we decided to use and cut it in some circle portions by tomorrow. We also talked about getting some wires in any hardware stores so we could build it till the end of this week. In other aspects, the motion design will be made by tomorrow. I'm planning on buying the motors and look upon some codes for controlling the direction and speed by a potentiometer.
