but if you just have the rabbits they still won't know where to go and
will
wonder what's wrong with the lights.


You think?

I think it will lead them right to where I want them to go...

Oh well. Even if it doesn't have the desired effect, they will still be
cool!

Maybe the lights will trigger a deep instinct to try and
chase the rabbit, just as a puppy would!

A little progress report...

The rabbit does indeed rabbit!

How about a whole little airport up there on the ceiling? You'll need
runway and taxiway lights too.

Well, I've been up in the tower at the museum and folks couldn't figure out
what the rabbits for 1R were. Of course, I would use the opportunity to
teach a bit of aviation.

I suspect you'll find the epilepsy threat strongly related to the
repetition rate used; you should be able to dodge that bullet easily.

I agree it should be easy to build with some CMOS clocks and counters,
but I suspect that's not Jay's forte...

BTW, I think it might be more striking to have an inverse rabbit; i.e.
all the LED's are on, but one..You chase the dark one...

Just need to tie in the infrared and give it a thorough checkout.
Should be able to send it up before next Friday!

Anyone know any good "BurmaShave-like" aviation jingles?
