The characters in this film break the stereotypes that the audience have against them by being different from what is conventional. For instance, the "dumb…

4. PHASE A TESTING 4.1. PURPOSE The primary purpose of Phase A testing is to evaluate the feasibility of an Arduino-based system in regards to the load sensor’s ability to weigh the balls and send this information to the Arduino.

RESULTS The balls had to be individually loaded into the device because the funnel was unable to handle the simultaneous loading of all the…
