New Idea

Because I have been struggling to find the digital timers (I have emailed different electronics companies, asked the electronics department for LJMU, been to Maplins) I have changed my idea. I want to use TV/Monitors and record a timer counting up to the appropriate numbers. These numbers will be displayed on the screens. On Friday I am making a plinth with Sean to put the TV's on and tomorrow I'm going for a TV hunt to the tip. I have two TV's already but need 9 in total. I have also joined freecycle.com.

Originally I was going to have string attached to the TV's that lead to the map behind (attached to the appropriate countries). However, after speaking to Lorenzo Fusi today I have decided not to use the map (or have it just for experimentation). We decided that visually it would look too busy and they would both detract from each other. Instead I am going to use just the monitors/TV's and either have it more scientific or add a hint to the numbers involved (like showing an outline of the country behind or a plaque on the TV).
