Ale starting assembling and taping the parts together and CADed a ring for mounting some of the parts together. She also printed an example gear mechanism to connect to the servo for the jaw of the shark for Pat to experiment with. Pat implemented a circling pattern for the ring alternatively to the breathing pattern but needs to experiment with syncing up chained LED rings.

We went to the lab to start soldering the components together and got connectors for the battery. Pat needs to work on soldering the entire circuit with the battery together. Ale must work on CADing the shark head with the jaw and trigger handle.

Things are coming together! We will update with more photos to come.
