WEEK 3.1: GATHERING MATERIALS

This meeting, we focussed on acquiring an alarm clock for our invention. The alarm clock is an important aspect because it will be rewired to activate the watering system at specific time intervals. We purposely went for an analog style clock, as seen in Figure 1 below, rather than a digital one in order to avoid any unnecessary electronics and/or wiring. The current plan of action is to disassemble the clock in a future lab period in order to understand how it works.
