Projects

One of the most fun things SigArch does is build projects. Here is a listing of current and past projects

Star Trek Pinball

This year, SigArch will be doing projects with a pinball machine we acquired. Ideas include using a card-swipe for internet-based record keeping and writing software to use cameras to make a computer play the game. Check out the project page below for more information.
