My Notes
--------
5 May 2022
Pigeons enjoy landing on the two balconies of our 17th floor condo.
We are designing and building a simple Pigeon Deterrence System (PDS) on the side balcony where they mostly land.
The PDS consists of segments of fishing line threaded through a set of upright metal pieces.
The uprights are constructed out of metal coat hanger wire.
In this Xholon workbook, I design the uprights.
Each upright has a small number of functional components and sub-components.
I also use this workbook to lay out a complete upright piece, using an Avatar moving in a grid.
The Avatar will turn left and right, and will move forward starting at one end of the upright.
TODO
- add a Xholon Grid
- use DefaultContent in CD
- use Avatar, with an Avatar behavior
