Special Thanks to...

•  Mr. Wright and all of my other Math/Science Teachers 

• My High School Physics teacher who led me to make this project for the school-wide Engineering Challenge. Thanks to my all of my math and science teachers, calculating the polar coordinates and string lengths for any given point was a breeze and I was able to wrap my head around all of the other difficult concepts involved.

•  Ytai Ben-Tsvi

  • Major Inspiration for my final design. I chose the Raspberry Pi over Ytai's IOIO for this project, but the IOIO looks like a great piece of hardware for engineers working with android and I'll definitely try it out in the future. Check out Ytai's blog here! ytai-mer.blogspot.com
