Android DiceBot

The Android DiceBot is an electronic dice that fits into an Android figurine!  It has a 7-Segment display, a 74HC595 shift register, an accelerometer, and an ATmega328p (the Arduino microcontroller) to all fit into an Android figurine.  I will use my Pineapple library to drive the 7-Segment LED with the 74HC595, my Quasi-duino core for the ATmega328p without the clock, and the free Arduino IDE to program the ATmega328p.

If you are stuck on any step or have any questions, please post them in the comments section below.

I'm 11 years old, so I will be eligible for the 12 and under prize from the Robot Contest.
