Reflection:

Remaking the precedent gives us valuable insight on how the device functions and details that we need to look out for when designing a working device. The remaking exercise also helps us realize some potential weaknesses of the original design and our remake. For example, since the ball tilt sensor works like a switch, the input signals only have two states, on and off. Our code needs to work with these two states and define what kind of motion is considered as shaking. The remake model also gives us ideas about different potential outputs that we can utilize for different types of expressive communication.
