Today, we took a step back to imagine the project by making sketches and thinking about its functionalities. Then, we started building the cardboard prototype.

When we began working on the cardboard prototype, we encountered a major problem. We couldn't place all the hands on the same vertical axis because they would inevitably touch at some point. Additionally, it was impossible to position all the hands on the same rotation axis, as we couldn’t just stack the servomotors on top of each other or attach multiple hands to the same servomotor (otherwise, they would all rotate simultaneously, which wouldn't be useful).

However, we came up with an idea! Instead of using three hands, we decided to keep only one—the minute hand. As for the hour indication, we thought of making the RGB LEDs on the numbers change color (to red) when an hour transitions to the next.

We’ve also start to make the arduino code this week but we ended by only making the connection of the arduino card.
