Day One - 07/09/2015
I met the team I am working with. We learned to use the Wiki, what our assignment is and discussed the images we took with us. We are going to design a device to scan certain data from the museum. We have to do this stealthy. We would have to design something portable and not very noticeable. We discussed and chose what data (relief) we wanted to scan.
Day Two - 08/09/2015
We discussed about our previous decision of scanning relief. We shifted towards another idea with using contours of objects. We created handheld devices to keep the ironwire steady, starting working on rotors for the platform and tested if ironwire can melt through foam. It seemed to work with the smaller wire. the bigger wire didnt generate enough heat to melt through.

Day Three - 09/09/2015
We went into boijmans and captured the linings of our objects with a small device with wire. I melted the foam again, this time with the lining of an object from boijmans. And bend a hard copper wire into the shape of one we made.

Day Four - 10/09/2015
We built the device for the spinning. We went into woodworkshop, lasercutting and had to prep our spot. Me and Sjoerd gave the presentation, turns out the most interesting of our project was 'the theft' itself.
