With this project, we want to incorporate what we've learned from this quarter while also spreading joy and excitement to the various people who will come across it. The game starts when the touch sensor is pressed and the LEDs light up, signaling the start of the game. The players shoot the targets (the circles with our faces on them), which are being lifted up and lifted down again by servo motors.

Inspiration
We really liked going to arcades and playing games because we found them fun, enjoyable, and also a good stress reliever. We also wanted to create an interactive project so that our audience could also enjoy it. So, we wanted to make a game, and also a game that is unique and unlike any of the games created by our classmates and the previous batches.
About the Makers
I tend to have such big imaginations and so many ideas and plans, however, I have a hard time creating them as I struggle with arts and crafts. I can create good designs if I have instructions to follow or if I make careful and precise decisions, but when I create something on my own, things go a little awry due to the fact that my imagination is far beyond my capabilities. Despite it, I love to try new things and discover the many different things I can create using a material.
My group and I work very well together as we all have different strengths that complement each other and contribute greatly to this project. We all have very big imaginations and work well towards a common goal. We know whose strength is at one thing and whose strength is at another, thus, we are able to create a system that will speed up the work and make sure that one can put their best skill at a particular part of the project.
