- Our presentations are next week, and just as I feared before the break, the body armor does not work. Much of the movement is restrictive and hard to put on. I believe my only resort is to use the more lightweight model that has less armor, but at least I’ll be able to move. The only thing I can conclude with these blog posts is that – although I have some design elments from the comic lore placed within this suit, it isn’t the ideal that I had hoped for. However I was able to incorporate the tech needed for me to gain easier access to my phone in conventions via Bluetooth earpieces and a phone holder in the guise of a gauntlet. I’d like to explore the idea of tinkering with recyclable objects and more tech in the future to see if I can build it to something bigger, but as of now I’d like to take a break from these kinds of projects.
For presentations next week these images are what the suit should look like next week. Something armor-light and more cloth-based.
