 ====I. Circuit Overview====
-Inspired in the organic movement of the Sleepy Plant (Mimosa pudica) this circuit want to experiment with different methods of locomotion testing the posibilites of the nickel - titanium wire alloy movement.

+====V. FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS  ====
+. Incorporate an Infrared sender and receiver instead of a Photocell in order to improve the reaction to “touch”
+. At the moment, I’m experimenting with 3D printing and a possible electronic object with this technique. These are photos of this process so far

+Opps! Problems with the object design...
