Project 1, Fine Tuning

Our current idea is to have a flower/plant that blooms or dies based on the proximity of its viewers; the closer they are the more the flower closes and appears dead. The project addresses the effect that human proximity can have on nature, as well as the idea that what you want isn't always what's best. We intend to use a motor to control the tension of strings attached to petals of the flower, causing them to open and close. The motor would be controlled by a proximity sensor (possibly multiple sensors).
