For the TeamDragon meeting this weekend we did some troubleshooting and determined the last Arduino board was responsible for our servo motor not functioning and not the motor itself or the power source.  We cut a wooden block to the right height to enable the servo to hit the silly string shooter each time as well as to stabilize the servo motor.vAfter examination of the hanger wire we used last time, we will most likely need to cut another piece which is straighter when horizontal.

We were able to get rudimentary motion using a potentiometer but the goal will be to use the IR sensor so that the silly string shoots as a result of detected motion rather than manually turning the potentiometer.  We found a couple sketches online which we can use as templates for the coding we will need to get the desired interaction between IR sensor, servo motor, and silly string shooter.  

For the upcoming week we will also work on cutting another wooden piece which will serve as the platform of the silly string shooter the servo motor.
