Tilt Switches

Yay! The tilt switches arrived a couple of days ago and Robbie and I tested them with the rest of the electronics then temporarily fitted them in our recently constructed cubes. They seem to be working reasonably well but still need a lot of tweaking as they are quite temperamental. Hopefully some adjustments on the code will do the trick.

As far as the cubes go, They are intact as I just mentioned, except for the lids, but they still need finishing. So we've had a play about on the lazer cutter to see about getting VeBu cut into the surfaces of the cubes, still not sure about it yet. As well as this it also needs painted and sanded and to get the tilt switches mounted inside properly.

However, after a talk with our lecturer we agreed that we should look further into the shape of our blocks. Why are they cubes? What are the alternatives? Something just doesn't feel right about them just now. They are not as fun and intuitive to control as we had hoped. And just when things seemed to be going well......
