Reflection

I think I would have to delve a little deeper into Arduino to send pulses to the muscle wire as the model is walking onstage because I've thus far only done it manually. I would also like to do trial and error with how the muscle wire is attached to the fabric since it's pricey and I would want to make the most efficient jellyfish-like movements with the minimum amount of muscle wire necessary.

Overall this class was fun and I learned a lot about different e-textile forms and about how they are incorporated into functional art and general art forms. These are cool ways to add functions to my mechanical engineering projects without traditional mechanisms I would learn in my engineering classes. I especially love the muscle wire because it facilitates movement without any actuators.
