digital inner tube

Inner tubes, motors, combat robot motor controllers, arduino, xbee, live data.

A pair of woven inner tube knots that jitter as buses approach a stop near the gallery. Both inner tube knots are activated as the bus approaches, one from bus platform just outside the gallery, the other lives inside the gallery. Each knot has a removable capsule which contains a motor, robotic motor controller, Arduino, X-Bee transceiver, and rechargeable 12-volt battery.
