Carolyn Sheline's Concept Sketches

The fuel cell mechanism is what causes the fuel cells to change from red to green and back again, and what allows the fuel cells to pop out. The room is shaped not only to look like a spaceship, but the slanted walls also allow for room for this mechanism to be mounted (see the Storyboard). Pneumatic cylinders are used so that the fuel cells can pop out. Double-acting cylinders could be used to allow the fuel cells to not only pop out, but also to allow them to retract back into the wall for resetting the game. An air compressor and various wires will need to be hooked up to these mechanisms. Also, the fuel cells should be made out of a durable yet soft material and not pop out too far for safety reasons.
