Today we had a phone call with Bob's Space Racers. We talked with Jack Mendes along with a couple of their engineers. Here are a few notes from the meeting:
- We cleared up a lot of our design with them. They are comfortable
with construction of the tree as we designed it, including the leafy
'cap', the stations of spindles and needles, and the tree itself. They
imagine the construction to be a combination of wood, fiberglass and
coating.
- We need to do more work on the pillow delivery system....
- They are cool with DMX and Phidget systems for the show control. For
the actual control of the delivery system, they want to use their
electromechanics, and interface with our computer via RS-232. Rob is
cool with that.
- For the 'shaking branches', they suggested something like a wooden
wind chime.
- Their schedule for production says that they can't really begin work
on this until May/June 2008.
