 * Shaker Table (implement)
 * FESTO manipulation
 * Tactile Interface

Problem Statement
Our goal is to create a manual shaker table using PVC pipes and other materials. We will also need to find a way to make our table hold, firmly, a tower (made out of connects) of unknown dimension. The whole project needs to be kid friendly.

Materials needed: This material list was retrieved from https://nees.org/resources/2938 'Other Stuff''
 * 2 ft. x 2 ft. plywood (or other wood as available, recommend 1/4– 1/2 inch thick)
 * 2 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch diameter wood dowels, approximately 36 inches long
 * 1 inch x 10 ft. PVC schedule 40 pipe that will be cut into 2 – 24 inch pipes and 2 – 30 inch pipes.
 * 4 – 1 inch PVC schedule 40, 90 degree elbows
 * 4 1/4; inch x 2.5 inch eye bolts with corresponding 1/4 inch nuts
 * 4 1/4 inch x 1 inch hex bolts with 1/4 inch nuts
 * rubber bands (recommend #64 bands)
 * Velcro strips
 * Bungee Cords
 * Paint and paint brushes

Project Plan
The hardest part will be week 3

=Week 1 Narrative= This week we bought the materials at Home Depot and started building our shaker table. We were able to finish building it yesterday, February 22, and I thought of a cool way to make a tower stay on the table (well, to me it's kind of cool). We will get bungee cords and install them at each corner of the table. Since they are flexible and strong, it will not matter whether the tower is a square, a triangle, or any other shape. The tower will be in the middle of the table and the cords will firmly hold it in place. We tried this idea using rubber bands and a simple "squared" box; it worked just fine. I will post pictures of what it looks like once we install the bungee cords.
