Project Goal

The project goal is to create a physical chess board that is able to interact with a human player and a computer. The computer sends its move, and the board moves the computer piece using a mechanical XY positioner that uses a magnet underneath the board to attract a piece of metal glued to the bottom of each chess piece.

            Our project was inspired by Max's instructuable http://www.Instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-an-Arduino-Powered-Chess-Playing-Robo/  however much of the hardware and all the software development effort is ours.

Our parts should be in on Tuesday, so we can start construction and testing starting then.
