[Lab] fun group project

[Darcy Whyte]

Just in case people want more detail here's the contest scoring system:

-artistry 25%
-originality 25%
-crafstmanship 25%
-relevance to tradition 25%

I think there is 500 bucks of prices split into three prizes of cash...

There are three judges...

I suppose our group can submit more than one if we want (we'll just see
what comes forward)...

Servo, why don't you share that link of the mechanically switched Parols
with the list.. :)
