Implement an array of solenoids

After all the electronics were in place, constructed an array of four solenoids out of some painted pieces of craft wood. The array is held to the frame by some tape, to make it easily removable.

On the close-up picture, you can see that I have drilled a small hole into the bumper, and glued the shaft of the solenoid to it. It is important to have spring-loaded solenoids, since there will be no force to push the shaft back, once it has activated.

Measuring was important during this step to insure that the bumpers had enough clearance over the film/glass.
