rippling system of plant dancers


this would work especially well with a big group of plants, like a crowd of them together. but for the prototype, getting a small network, in this case 3 plants, provides the foundational basis to test it out.

* gotta decide what dictates the starting point to begin the action.

* gotta decide what patterns are set in motion, ie: do the plants move out in rippled motion, do they go out in linear lines (for example, around a circle)? how long do they continue to react? do we let them settle back down to a resting point?

interestingly, this picks up one of the ideas set out in an earlier drawings from yesterday:


unfortunately, it kinda means much of yesterday's work on building capacitive and humidity sensors is not going to be necessary going forward. but - on the plus side for me - now i have that experience for future projects!
