victoria, the shiver state

ok, so we've tried ways of getting the WAVE state to work and it's proving difficult. we used a 'servo' motor which gave us a really great effect but which is really quite noisy. check out the video below (featuring technical guru and all right nice guy, jesse) -


we made some modifications so that the servo motor stepped up in incremental degrees, rather than zipping all the way up in one direction in one hit and this helped with the noise.

but our problem is also trying to mount 2 different motors to the plant and pot. especially with one pushing the plant (to SHIVER) and one pulling it (to WAVE). this is a mega pity because having the 2 motions was very exciting. but for now we'll strip back down to the original single motion state (SHIVER).

i've refined the SHIVER state with a bit randomness for extra organic flavour.
