Project 2 explanation

As you can tell form the photos our project consists of a printer, a back pack, an arduino, a photosensor, and various structural components. The piece works as follows; the viewer draws a picture on the 5x7 sheets of paper using the pencils provided, then they place the paper in the top slot of the stained wood box, the sensor is activated which triggers the arduino and the motors which control the printer, the printer then pulls the drawing through and at the same time spits a drawing out. The arduino is used to control the timing of the motors so that the printer takes and feeds only one piece of paper. Thanks Nick, without him as an engineer i don't believe this project would have been successful.
