Reflection:

I think what I took away was really the exploration of different software and how it combines with other areas of design to make the eventual product a whole. While the use of coding poses much difficulty to us in terms of understanding the code and finding the code, the fact that Arduino is an open source software really helps us to be able to do some self-learning and exploration which is something I truly enjoy. It was also very satisfying to see how our modified codes worked the way we wanted them to.

However, I also realize how important is it to create a correct setting to provoke our audience and set the interaction at the right pace and push our audiences to do certain things. It is not just the process of making the bin or making the code work, but it is a whole process of finding out how we can make our audience interact with our product in the best manner and achieve what we set out to do.

If time permitted, we would have actually liked to link the programming with Twitter as well as printing out the images we captured in order to solve the issue of the images captured being overwrite and keeping track of the offenders just like a town council. Overall, we really enjoyed the project and we definitely enjoy seeing our audiences respond and interact with our bin while getting ROASTED.
