:TamTam could do without the tempo. When I was in school, our band did just fine without tempo adjustments on the instruments. (to go much faster, give the drummer a dozen cups of expresso) Eliminating the pre-made (inflexible) beat from TamTam would simplify the user interface. Kids can do the percussion themselves; it's a nice skill to learn and it encourages teamwork. [[User:AlbertCahalan|AlbertCahalan]] 12:42, 20 October 2007 (EDT) |

Links to TeamWiki
http://laptop.org/teamwiki/index.php/Team:Peripherals#Power_Ideas_-_Progress_Table require access to TeamWiki... so there's very little value for the community to link there. --Xavi 18:20, 11 October 2007 (EDT)
Physical interface for musical instruments
Simple touch switches to control tempo in TamTam, light sensor based musical input.
- TamTam could do without the tempo. When I was in school, our band did just fine without tempo adjustments on the instruments. (to go much faster, give the drummer a dozen cups of expresso) Eliminating the pre-made (inflexible) beat from TamTam would simplify the user interface. Kids can do the percussion themselves; it's a nice skill to learn and it encourages teamwork. AlbertCahalan 12:42, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
- Interesting, so we can have physical interfaces to generate the tempo. (rather than control it) --Arjs 12:57, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
Robotics
Robotics platform - similar to Mindstorms (perhaps simpler). Module connects to XO through USB.
Keyboard light
Something which can clip onto the somewhere below the XO screen and help illuminate the XO keyboard. --Arjs 09:14, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
