Furry Costumes Final Submission

Here was the drawing we included in our initial bid.

And we kind of got there but time ran out on us.  The failures just kept multiplying yesterday after we tried to take a video of them in action.  Here is a pic from yesterday.

Cute, but no effects were working because a button on Ellison's suit failed. 

 

The problems continued into today when I accidently killed the arduino controlling her costume.  At that point Ellison and Rowan had skipped town and I have a big laundry list of things to do before my parents come to town on Saturday. 

 

I made a video for those who want to see the costumes in their diminished capability and hear my "final report".

Thanks for the challenge Element14 and AdaFruit.  We got close but ran out of time.

    What a pitty.... Your construction and ideas looked very nice,  and you really worked hard to get it done in time, even though you warned that it would probably not work out. I hope you can clear your mind after you've cleared your laundry list, and then get going again. Your project looks promising!

     

    Good luck, hope to see the finished costumes posted here later on....!
