Each year, my family creates a completely new and exciting display for Halloween. It has only a few goals: that it be interactive for the kids, that it offer the opportunity to work with new technologies, and that it be fun.
This year, the kids arrived to trick-or-treat only to be drafted as deputies in Grimy Gulch, an old west town. Grimy Gulch has been overrun by a gang of outlaws led by Black Bart, a cowboy of an exceptionally evil nature.
Black Bart and his gang were targets that would pop-up via pneumatic damper motors. The kids would "shoot" at the gang using Wiimotes. Laptops would communicate via network to coordinate which target would pop up and down.
