Our group, Electric Engineering Computer Science (EECS), was assigned to work on a foil dinosaur creature, originally immobile and non electric. The dinosaur was originally created by a member of Pioneer's Club, who additionally provided voices for the creature. Our team worked extensively, and we all did our part.
The project was created for the Maker's Faire, but unfortunately was not presented. Nonetheless, we were still valiant in finishing the project and worked on it thereafter.
Our first few tasks, assigned as the advanced Arduino group. We were to learn more extensive lessons on Arduino, far more than the rest of the class. We learned how to program things like RGB LEDs that can be mixed of any colors Red, Green, and Blue. Along with this, we learned how to program and use motors and servos with the Arduino. These all the more were implemented and integral parts of our dinosaur, and were the primary features.
Those two features would be what we dispersed into, separate mini groups composed of 1-2 members. The groups were as of follows:

Members and Their Tasks
Eddie Noyce - Mastermind behind the creation of the Foil Monster. Created the monster with his own hands while inserting the servos within it. Has also made other foil creations, contributing to Pittsburg High School's Pioneers Club.
Wenzel Lowe - Creator of this website describing our project and the function of each team member. Generally a help around the whole group, by coming to each section, like helping with the programming and the servos.
Uriel Castellanos - Was a general helper around the group, being helpful to each member when asked. Was integral in starting the circuit boards in the beginning processes.
Ashlynn Bhaavna - Was part of the Servo group, and also helped with the programming in the early stages of the dinosaur. Extensively worked with the wires of the dinosaur, especially at the end, where it was most important.
Cassandra Violette - Also a member of the servo group and mainly programmed the servo code. Helped with the wiring with co-team member Ashlynn on the end game dinosaur.
Dominic Confetti - Member of the RGB Team which set up the multi color LEDs with 3 potentiometers. Was able to write a whole code with comments himself and successfully achieved a working RGB LED with potentiometers.
