Idea
Re-create a TRON: Legacy costume (as seen in the movie).

Problem Statement
Design and build a TRON: Legacy costume using a black morph suit, helmet, EL wires, lillypad arduinos, switches, and LEDs.

System goals and requirements
Goals: Demonstrate EL wire, switches, computer control over them, wearable computers to help sell engineering at HCC to Howard County Public school kids, and sell engineering within HCC.

Requirements: Build costume that most people can wear, be washed and repaired.

Initial target goals (based on needs, opportunities and other influences)
Design and storyboard the layout of of the EL wire and LEDs on the suit. The lillypad arduino will be placed in a box mechanism with switches on the back of the suit. Design the helmet with wiring inside the face of the helmet as well as the outline.

Necessary system functions
Necessary system functions: EL wire, switches, LED's, arduino integration.

The whole costume must stand alone (from any outside power sources). It also must be easy to get on and off, as well as operate.

Risks and alternatives
Glow in the dark fabric paint can be used as a filler between EL wires.

Risks and alternatives: Lipo batteries may get hot if used to power the suit. Alternatives include tethered cable to power source and other battery technologies.

This is my design for the suit so far:

Next Steps
Once our orders come in, the design of the EL wiring can be planned out on the actual costume and start putting it together.
