“CODE STORYBOARD”
#0: way for both products to connect to their own wi-fi
#1-2 NO ACTIVITY:
- Inputs: listening onflickerAandflickerB, neither registers any flick
- Outputs: no motor movement, no LED lighting
#3-6 CAT A FLICKS THEIR TOY (steps below) OR CAT B FLICKS THEIR TOY (skip to step #9)
- Inputs: listening onflickerAandflickerB,flickerA registers a flick. No more flicks will be registered for the next 10(?) minutes.
- Outputs:motorAcontinues to return nothing.ledA1lights up red for 2 minutes andledA2continues to return nothing.motorBstarts moving for next 2(?) minutes. ledA1continues to return nothing andledA2lights up blue for 2 minutes.
#7-8 SENSORS AND MOTORS BECOME INACTIVE FOR 10(?) minutes
- Inputs: For the next 10 minutes, areflickerAandflickerB listening and not returning anything? Or do they stop listening completely?
- Outputs: motorA,ledA1,ledA2,motorB,ledA1, andledA2all return nothing.
#9-11 CAT B FLICKS THEIR TOY (steps below) OR CAT A FLICKS THEIR TOY (skip to step #3) OR NO CAT DOES ANYTHING (skip to step #1)
- Inputs: listening onflickerAandflickerB,flickerBregisters a flick. No more flicks will be registered for the next 10(?) minutes.
- Outputs:motorAstarts moving for next 2(?) minutes.ledA1continues to return nothing andledA2lights up green for 2 minutes.motorBcontinues to return nothing.ledA1lights up red for 2 minutes andledA2continues to return nothing.

PRODUCT MAKING PLAN
- (2) Solder components
- (2) Make container (acrylic box? how to make it a curved object? Learn 3D printing?)
- (2) Attachment for wall(?)
- (2) Feathery ball attachments
- (2) Spring steel wire (with way to attach in container)
- (2) Obtain long enough USB cords

PROJECT VIDEO PLAN
SHOT 0: (BACKUP ROLL IN CASE REDOING OPENING) Model shot closeups of Cat B and Cat B. fun music playing. Names overlayed etc.
SHOT 1: Silence, cricket sound effects. At Cat A’s home. Tripod is set up for a while, cat is resting on rug. Screen STILLS for a moment and text overlay name of cat, owner’s name, location.
SHOT 2: “”. toyA is now on the wall. Cat gets up and starts to play with it. Fun music picks up again.
SHOT 3: At Cat B’s home. Tripod is set up for a while. ToyB starts moving. CatB rushes over/watches it/starts playing with it. Screen STILLS for a moment and text overlay name of cat, owner’s name, location.
SHOT 4: Split screen of cats playing.
SHOT 5: Owner of each cat enters their shot and sits on floor with cat playing. They take a photo of it and text on their phones, smiling.
SHOT 6: Text screen with selfie of one person with their cat playing.
SHOT 7: Response selfie text.
SHOT 8: Full rewind.
SHOT 9: Rotate camera on tripod and zoom in on product.
SHOT 10: Product still side by side with circuit drawing
SHOT 11: Blooper reel of cats including zoom ins.
