We decided to go in the direction of competing, which we had discussed in the round table discussion in week 9. We brainstormed and thought that it would be ideal if you could input their goals for the following day. This could then be viewed by you as well as your friends with the 'physh' system, from the time the goals were submitted and during the following day. This gives incentive to achieve your goals to avoid the humiliation of your friends seeing that you haven't achieved what you set out to.
Furthermore, we talked to Logan about our idea and our unresolved issues with how our fish were actually going to move upwards or drop downwards depending on the transmission of heart rate. He suggested that if the bottom of the fish were attached to string which was then attached to a servo motor on the base of the tank, the string could be wound to the correct height depending on the results. There would need to be something which acts as an object to wind the string around. We developed this further to make the decision that it would be better to add weights to the fish and have the string attached to the top of the fish to the servo which is underneath the lid of the fish tank. If the person has a high percentage increase above their resting heart rate, the programmed servo will activate the winding function and the string will wind more and more until the fish has reached the height that represents this percentage. If the person has a very low percentage or no percentage increase above resting heart rate then the winding function will be minimal.
