After drawing, some tests on the lamps...
People start playing!
Saturday
After testing physics and mechanics rules, it's the time to start bulding the prototypes... Screwdrivers,drills, files, screws and nails, hammers..the studio seems to be a woodworking..
people start developping their machines..
giuseppe and emanuele add arduino on their caterpillar lamp!
