Objective: To find out how to start to make a Hamster Sphere hover.
Materials: Computer, Blender Software, Processing Software, Arduino Software.
Methods:
-Searching all over the web for information.
-Searching for Sphere models
-Found blender model UV Sphere
-Searching for Wii Remote tracking code
-Found how to digest and hack a wii remote
(Suly) For the programming:
Links that can help:

This link is to read about how to set up the circuit board for the Arduino.
The arduino code will work best with ‘Fade’ Code
(Matthew) For the designing:
Found a UV Sphere template and made a mesh wireframe.
Results:
-Have the outer design for the Sphere
-Arduino code to test using ‘Fade’ example to be able to “hover and land safely.”
