== Nuetsrallye 2.0 ==

The local youth commission will organize a nightrallye departing from Strassen (Fräiheetsbaam) and syn<sub>2</sub>cat will deliver some special effects for decorating the surroundings.

Furthermore, we will have a small expo booth where we will provide visitors with information.

Note to GRL savvy hackers : The place is craving for a lasertag ;-)

== Team Stuff ==

* Ducktape
* Flashlights
* Walkie Talkies
* Power strips
* Spotlight
* List with participants of syn2cat and phone numbers for the ones in the forest
* First Aid Kit
* GPS's - will bring 4 eTreks --[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 08:24, 1 September 2011 (CEST)

=== Public Relations ===

* Camera --> taking pictures (will take mine to the event --Azunix 14:17, 2 September 2011 (CEST) )
* Video camera --> recording footage from the stand as going the way through the forrest and showing the path; the after party would be hacking a nice video together and publishing it on the blog and wiki
** If I have a tape.. that should work out.. (at leaste we have a camera) --Azunix 14:17, 2 September 2011 (CEST)
* Posters - will print and bring A1 sized logos --[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 08:24, 1 September 2011 (CEST)
* Flyers
* Stickers

== Decoration ==

=== Stand ===

* Flyers
* Posters
* Throwies
* Fan with LEDs turning around like crazy
* Notebook with external sound speakers to show videos by syn2cat (remember the one from XMAS '10 ?)
* Wireless Electricity LED :)

=== Forest ===

* Threads (Faden) which hang from one tree to another in the horizontal way on which throwies are hanging down
* [http://ur1.ca/4zh87 CAUTION] sign with LEDs on the borders and cool saying in the middle or picture
* Glue more throwies together - some sort of ball - and have a "Throwie Wollknäuel"
* A white blanket that should fall from the trees and serve in some sort as ghost
* Tense a "thick" thread from one tree to another and maybe mark the endpoints with LEDs --> Function: don't hang it to high, because the kids should touch it on the level of the stomach --> '''should not hurt anyone'''
* Ding Dong things (bells) with batteries (Infrared) --> OK
* V for Vendetta masks - fill the eyes with red LEDs and the mouth as well - may be a different color ; don't forget the hat --> hang it somewhere where it looks scary
* Take the little cable tree from the chill, hang a few LEDs on the branches and positionate it somewhere nice
* If people trigger a thread on the height of their feet leaves should fall from above - Yes like in Frau Holle, but with leaves instead of feathers
* If the kids step on a trigger a bell should ring --> OK

There were further ideas developed during the first brainstorming session. Check your inbox for a list of those ideas or read below


* Throwies on a tree (worked well)

2 throwies (without magnet) on the ends of a 1-2m string to hang over branches of trees along the path. About 12-20 strings needed

Owner: /

Design: done (ask Gunstick what to do)

Build time: 4h (need to buy string!)

Setup time: fast

'''Status:''' strings --> done ; throwies --> need to be done Friday

* Harddisk chimes (not a hit)

Owner: /

yeah, not enough wind in the wood

* "Lachsack" - Stereo turned on with remote

that was slopjong's idea, but the hardware failed shortly before so we

came up wit this:

* arduino that makes sound when somebody walks on a contact (paper +alu)
--> which sound? (or simply use an mp3player?)
also Jhemp proposed we could use his compact but very loud amplifier.
Owner: Peter
Design: todo
Build time: ?
Setup time: probably someone needs to be present all time in the forest

* Skulls in a Jar with LEDs (wasn't done becaus of lack of skulls)
Owner: Macfreak

* Wet strings dangling onto the path (not too bad, but making them wet wasdifficult, they dried too fast)

Owner: /

Design: done (ask Gunstick what to do)

Build time: 2h

Setup time: can be slow if you end up with a huge knotty mess!

* throwies on a motor? A motor running on batteries with a long stick rotating like a propeller. LEDs on both ends.

Owner: iThierry

Design: todo

Build time: probably 2h

Setup time: hmm... fixation needs to be designed too!

'''Status:''' Self-made prototype 'Hans' or 'Klaus' --> done ; Next version(s) need some perfection (lot of motors recovered of the disk drives)

* Can we use the UV LEDS somewhere? Bring up your ideas!

More ideas... but please note: there is no power supply in the woods!

* Make an interesting floor. Using bubble plastic, beer caps, or anything else which is usually not found in a forest
* Do something with the massive amount of balloons
* Create a spider web out of cables to hang across the path

'''Status:''' 

* do something with reflectors (need to buy those) syn2cat will pay the cost.

'''Status:''' Mirror recovered already from the overhead projector(s)

* the invisible wall... or labyrinth. use transparent palette wrap, you can buy that at muller & wegener
