ACL Construction

The first order of business (after organizing our build dates, timeline, and delegating duties) will be to build a prototype of one single zero-g profile to test it for sitting comfort and playability.

We will need: - a trip to get supplies (mostly wood at this point) - a place to build (we may be able to use the roof of Grand space but I don't know when its avail.) - some type of carpet or other temp material to put on the profile to test its playability - a golf ball and putter

The goals of this will be to come up with whatever modifications or hacks are needed to make this basic surface 1) playable, and 2) sturdy enough to walk on. Most likely this will involve rounding the profile a bit or adding padding/etc. to the troughs and peaks, and designing some type of under-surface support.

Schedule

WORK DATES:

Sun. 6/1 - build & test zero-g prototype

[possible weekday work days 6/2 - 6/5] [possible weekday work days 6/9 - 6/13]

Sat. 6/14 - MAJOR build date Sun. 6/15 - MAJOR build date

[possible weekday work days 6/16 - 6/19]

...

We can, of course, also pick a few weekdays / weeknights, and once people are up to speed, we should be able to also utilize the other weekends that I am out of town.

One critical update: I found out from NTD that we will be able to get to GI during weekdays to do the installaiton, if needed. What I _don't_ know yet (don't think its been decided even): whether Figment will be renting out some type of workspace for all the groups to use (probably unlikely).

Okay, thanks for your help! Yes, this is really going to happen! =)

cheers, Ed
