We plan on using the hardware within the Lego Mindstorms Robotics kit to help construct a controllable water fountain display. The kit has an ARM processor, memory, and bluetooth hardware. We will be using Lego's hardware and software development kit to add our own hardware as well as write firmware for it. We plan on adding a water pump to the system and use another motor to move it. We would like to control the movements of the water fountain with a Nintendo Wii Remote via bluetooth. We are hoping to have a modular project and are still considering adding features such as a way to make the system react to sound.
